Reggio Emilia

Italy

It was one of the cities where the institution of the medieval communes was born, and the birthplace of the Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto. And precisely in Reggio Emilia in 1797 the Tricolore was created: the green, white & red flag of Italy.

Reggio Emilia is a city in northern Italy, in the Emilia-Romagna region. The old town has a hexagonal form, which derives from the ancient walls, and the main buildings are from the 16th–17th centuries. The commune’s territory lies entirely on a plain, crossed by the Crostolo stream.

The economy of the province of Reggio Emilia was for a long time based on agriculture. One typical product, known worldwide and imitated, is Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Another is Lambrusco wine. Reggio Emilia produce also the[17] “Balsamic Vinegar” a condiment for salad but also cheese, strawberries and many other dishes. In the twentieth century Reggio Emilia and its territory saw also a rapid development of small and medium industries, particularly in the sector of agricultural machinery.
