Reggio Emilia is a city in northern Italy’s Po Valley that is situated on the Via Emilia and is bordered to the west by Parma and the east by Modena. Bologna is about 50 km away. The Po River separates it from the Mantua province to the north, while the Apennines form its southern boundary with Tuscany and Liguria.
Due to the adoption of the tricolor here in Reggio Emilia in 1797, the city has earned the moniker “City of the Tricolor.” Reggio was the center of Matilde’s county in the eleventh century. Later, significant individuals, including Boiardo and Ariosto, the famous poet of Orlando Furioso, defined Reggio’s Renaissance.
Reggio Emilia is renowned now for its cuisine, high standard of living, and the “most beautiful kindergartens in the world”.
