A small town in Northern
Italy, not far from
Parma.
The place clearly had its boom at the
beginning of the 19th century, and then pretty much
stayed the same, which makes for a nice and architecturally
coherent town.
The traditional slur against inhabitants of Reggio Emilia
is that they have cubic heads: in the original
Parmesan dialect phrase "Arzan testa quædra".
