Reggio Emilia — Città del Tricolore

Emilia-Romagna

Reggio Emilia holds the distinction of being where the green-white-red tricolour was first adopted as an official flag in 1797, by the short-lived Cispadane Republic, a moment commemorated in a dedicated museum in the town hall. The flat historic centre is easy walking, with the story told at intervals through the squares.
