  • Piazza della Vittoria
    The largest square in town, known as Theatre Square, houses three theatres, the Museum’s Palace, and public gardens. It also commemorates the various conflicts Reggio Emilia has faced over the centuries.
  • Obelisco di Piazza Gioberti
    Reggio Emilia is famous for its gelato, and local craftspeople have received important awards for their work. You should try the “Giovanna,” our city's iconic flavor. It is a “semifreddo,” which is a mix of gelato and dessert, made with hazelnut nougat. Enjoy the Italian “dolce vita” by eating your gelato in the shade of the obelisk in Piazza Gioberti, facing the Ducal Palace.
  • Basilica della Madonna della Ghiara
    Believe it or not, this street was once where the river Crostolo flowed, and it is also where the Ghiara Basilica was built to honor a miracle that occurred at this spot. We will also introduce the "Fotografia Europa" photo festival, which is hosted by the Palazzo Magnani Foundation every spring.
  • Piazza Prampolini
    Also known as Piazza Prampolini, it is the heart of Reggio Emilia, where historically, all the most significant powers were located: the cathedral, town hall, and the bank.
  • Museo del Tricolore
    In this very building, on January 7, 1797, the Cispada Republic was proclaimed, and the first tricolour flag was created. Explore the intriguing history of Italy’s unification at the “Tricolor Museum,” and discover why Reggio Emilia is also known as the city of the Tricolor by visiting the “Sala del Tricolore.”
  • Piazza del Monte
    Built in the 1300s, this is the oldest and most elegant 4-star hotel in town. In its charming bar, we will step back to the 1800s for a tasting of transitional balsamic vinegar paired with nibbles and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
  • Piazza San Prospero
    This square is a masterpiece of architecture, featuring the basilica of San Prospero, dedicated to the bishop who saved the city from the barbarian invasion.
  • Il Mercato Eat & Meet Reggio Emilia
    Reggio Emilia, originally named Regium Lepidi, was founded by General Marco Emilio Lepido in 187 B.C. The foundation stone of the city can still be seen on the pavement of the “Via Emilia”, the roman’s road connecting all the major cities across the region.
  • You can’t visit Reggio Emilia without experiencing our unique aperitivo style. Let’s raise a toast with a glass of Lambrusco or Spergola wine, complemented by cured meats, local cheeses, and “erbazzone”—our signature street food made with spinach, chard, and Parmigiano Reggiano.
