Reggio nell'Emilia

Among the cities of Emilia-Romagna, Reggio nell'Emilia stands out as the birthplace of the Italian tricolour. Set on the Po Plain beside the Crostolo stream, it is crossed by the Via Emilia, the Roman road that continues to connect the region's historic centres. On 7 January 1797, the Cispadane Republic adopted the green, white and red flag in the Sala del Tricolore, within the city hall. Reggio is also part of the production area for Parmigiano Reggiano, the celebrated hard cheese made under strict local rules.
