Reggio Emilia

The Sala del Tricolore (lit. 'Room of the Tricolor'), formerly the Patriotic Hall, is an historical hall that currently serves as the council chamber of the comune (municipality) of Reggio Emilia, northern Italy. It was designed by the architect Lodovico Bolognini as the archive of the ducal family of Este. In the Sala del Tricolore, on 7 January 1797, the flag of Italy (also known as "the Tricolor") was born, hence the name of the hall. Adjacent to the room is the Tricolour Flag Museum, whose collection is made up of relics related to the Italian flag.

The Diocese of Reggio Emilia–Guastalla (Latin: Dioecesis Regiensis in Aemilia–Guastallensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It has existed in its current form since 1986. In that year the historical Diocese of Reggio Emilia was united with the Diocese of Guastalla. The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Modena–Nonantola.Originally the diocese was part of the ecclesiastical province of Milan, then it was suffragan to the Archbishop of Ravenna. Because of the schism of the Antipope Clement III, Pope Paschal II released the dioceses of Emilia, including Reggio, from obedience to the church of Ravenna, and made them directly subject to the Holy See (Rome), but twelve years later Pope Gelasius II restored the previous status. In 1582 the diocese of Bologna was raised to the status of a metropolitan archbishopric. Reggio was made a suffragan of the archdiocese of Bologna, by Pope Gregory XIII in the bull Universi orbis of 10 December 1582. Modena was raised to the status of an archdiocese and its bishop to the status of a Metropolitan Archbishop by Pope Pius IX in his bull of 22 August 1855, entitled Vel ab antiquis. Reggio became one of its suffragans.

Palazzo Cassoli is a historical building located in the centre of Reggio Emilia, central Italy. In the 16th century, the building belonged to the Boccacci family, who sold it in 1607 to count Girolamo Cassoli. At the end of the 17th century the façade was redone with a weave of leaves made of lime and pozzolana; the windows and the portal were adapted too. Unfortunately, the restoration conducted after Cassa Nazionale Infortuni bought the building in 1924, changed the original look of the facade due to the reconstruction of parts that had degraded over centuries. The inside was decorated in the 20th century by Anselmo Govi and there are remains of tempera paintings of Domenico Pellizzi.

Following the destruction by fire of the 1741 Teatro Cittadella in April 1851, the new theatre was designed by the architect Cesare Costa and constructed in the neoclassical style between 1852 and 1857. Its inauguration took place on 21 April 1857 with the performance of the Vittor Pisani by local composer Achille Peri. It is the pre-eminent public theatre of the city and is located in its historical centre next to the public park and near the smaller and more recent theatre Teatro Ariosto.

The Palazzo Busetti or Bussetti, is a Baroque-style palace with a main facade located on Piazza del Monte 6, but structures connected with the palace are flanked by the via Francesco Crispi and Don Giuseppe Andreoli, in the historic center of the town of Reggio Emilia in Italy. The main palace facade faces the side of the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo and the Palazzo del Monte di Pieta. The original palace was begun in 1657 by Count Ferdinando Busetti, who had gained a fortune in the commerce of silk. Construction continued until 1574, but by 1699, the Busetti family, lacking heirs, the property under guidance of an endowment was put to various uses. In 1699, it was occupied by the Bishop's Seminary, and soon by the Jesuit college. A small theater and church were added. From 1752 to 1783, the building housed offices and classrooms for the University of Reggio Emilia, before again housing the Jesuits. In 1921, after much refurbishment, the palace was subdivided into various businesses, including a celebrated Ristorante-caffè Busetti, the offices for the newspaper L’Italia Centrale, and offices of the Banca Commerciale Italiana. In 1939–1950, the theater and convent were rebuilt for alternate uses. The portico was placed at an alternative facade. The buildings now house boutique stores, offices, and apartments.

In 1920–1929, a further refurbishment attempted to restore the medieval appearance of the building. Inside is the large meeting hall (Sala dei Difensori) in which city council meetings were held.

The Palazzo da Mosto is a Renaissance-style palace located on Via Giovanni Battista Mari 7 in the northwest of the historic center of the town of Reggio Emilia in Italy.

By the second half of the 19th century, the property was acquired by the wealthy banker, Pietro Manodori, who established a school for young children and infants. The property remained a school until 1991. In 2005, under the auspices of the Fondazione Manodori, a charitable arm of the Cassa di Risparmio di Reggio Emilia, the palace was restored, and now serves as an exhibition hall and for cultural events. Notable is the frieze of tondos with busts below the roofline. The interior has a baroque staircase leading to the Piano Nobile.
