About Reggio Emilia
Reggio Emilia rewards travellers who look past the surface: this is the city that gave Italy its tricolour flag, and its layered past — Roman grid, medieval towers, Jewish quarter, industrial muscle — is best read on foot with someone who knows the stories. A guided walk such as the Reggio Emilia Private Guide: Historical Old Town Tour with First Italian Flag anchors you in the political heart of the city, while the Jewish Reggio Emilia: History, Stories & Synagogue Visit opens a quieter, deeply human chapter of its history.

Frequently asked questions
Reggio Emilia is where the Italian tricolour was born in 1797, and its historic centre still holds Roman street lines, medieval towers and a former Jewish ghetto. History-focused tours here go beyond monuments: you can trace plague doctors and their stories, explore the city's waterways, or dig into industrial archaeology at the Officine Reggiane.
