Reviewed By miss_ludovica - Reggio Emilia, Italy
This is a place where one can get lost for hours perusing phography and art books, wandering through the rooms of a period building, glancing at the outdoor patio, dreaming of distant places in the travelling section or finding enlightment in the philosophy and sprituality one. Two things could improve this place: opening on sunday and having a coffee shop.
2. Pietra di Bismantova

I've been there with friends and we have a lovely afternoon playing cards on the wooden tables under the Pietra looking at the beautiful view of the Mountains and at the people climbing the Pietra with just the basic equipment. You can also climb or hike, but we were a bit lazy. Also, there are a lot of great restaurants near, try some Lambrusco and some Gnocco fritto!
3. Teatro Municipale Reggio Emilia

Reviewed By John W - Sacramento, California
This is a small theatre but we enjoyed it more than the mighty, and much more famous, La Scala. Wonderful seats. Acoustics seemed great. We were told some famous opera singers preferred singing here versus La Scala. The audience was there because they love opera, not the se and be seen crowd, although there is that element. We saw one of Verdi's early operas here, not famous at all, but very enjoyable and the crowd was appreciative.

This place is the actual city hall of Reggio Emilia but it has a vibrant importance for italian history because it's the place were the italian flag was born.
The building itself is beautiful but the hall, that looks like a magnificent small theatre, is marvellous.
There is also the possiblity to get married in the hall and the location is to die for.
6. Piazza Fontanesi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 287 reviews
Reviewed By miss_ludovica - Reggio Emilia, Italy
Consider that Reggio Emilia is not such a great city, architecturally speaking is boring and out of the many Roman towns in the region (like Ravenna and Modena ) is the ugliest one. This is of course my personal opinion, but many visitors feel exactly the same. The climate is most unfortunate, damp, humid, extremely hot in summer and foggy in winter and what is worst is the pollution, one of the strongest in Italy, so much so that it has been compared with Bejing's. However, Piazza Fontanesi is one of the nicest place you can find here. The square was once home of junkies and drunkard, but it has now been revived and a wonderful selection of bars, restaurants and bistrots have a found an interesting setting to trade. In summer Piazza fontanesi is full of people and in winter many events are organized to keep it lively. Also, every saturday the square is the host of the farmer's market, so you will find a lovely selection of local produce and breads.
7. Museo di Peppone e Don Camillo

Reviewed By belfastconfetti - Killyleagh, United Kingdom
This is mostly about the films which were much more successful on the continent than in the UK and which aren't all available with English subtitles, even where they are available at all. It is, however, a very interesting museum with a recreation of a fifties film set, lots of artifacts and photos from the films and information about the author of the books. Some information about the exhibits is available in quaintly translated English and two of the attendants spoke our language beautifully. Also, there's a steam train and a tank outside! If you're in this part of the world it really is worth a detour.

9. Museo Cervi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 83 reviews
The Cervi Museum is located in the low plain around Reggio Emilia and it is set in the house where the Cervi family lived from 1934, a wide farmhouse located at “Campirossi”, a plot of land with an extension of 53 “biolche reggiane” (about 16 hectares) on the border between the villages of Gattatico and Campegine. The Cervi Museum originated from the collection of objects that the family of the seven brothers preserved since the years of the war and those that were given to them afterwards (printed materials and manuscripts, honors and official decorations, albums, relics, artworks). These materials first found a place during the sixties in a specific small room created during the enlargement of the building. With the re-qualification of the building, a new museum itinerary has been shaped: starting from the extraordinary living, working, and fighting experience of the Cervi family to the work in the countryside, anti-fascism and Resistance.
Reviewed By Vittore P - City of Venice, Italy
The museum is located in a farm like many other farms in this area 70 years ago. But it has been preserved as a homage to the 7 Cervi Brothers that have been killed by the fascist police in 1943.
Many Italians like to visit this place and remember their sacrifice for freedom.
10. Chiesa di Santa Maria Nascente

4.5 based on 107 reviews
Reviewed By terre74 - Carpi, Italy
Penso che non esista un'altra chiesa in Italia che sia così tanto legata alla fantasia delle persone come la chiesa di Brescello, casa del signore ma anche di Don Camillo. Nella piazza principale della città ha vicino a se la statua del parroco, mentre dall'altra parte c'è quella del sindaco. E' comunque una bella costruzione, tipica delle chiese di paese della bassa emiliana, non so però se sarebbe così famosa senza i film ispirati ai libri di Giovannino Guareschi.
