Reggio nell'Emilia (RE)

Emilia Romagna, Italy

The old town has an exagonal form, which derives from the ancient walls, and the main buildings are from XVI - XVIII centuries. The ancient roman name of the town was Regium Lepidi, in honor of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, the founder of the town and of the Roman way Via Emilia, still the main road of the region and giver of the name. Before the unity of Italy, it was part of the independent Duchy of Modena and Reggio.
