Palazzo del Monte
Piazza Prampolini
Reggio Emilia, May 2024
“The Palazzo del Monte was the first seat of the Municipality of Reggio, which endowed it with the soaring tower in 1216. Sold to the Monte di Pietà in the 15th century, its hall remained the center of social life in Reggio: in fact, it was transformed into a theater in 1564 and inaugurated in the presence of Barbara of Austria, wife of Alfonso II. The hall was renovated over the centuries by Gaspare Vigarani and the Bibiena brothers, but was unfortunately destroyed by a fire in 1740.” (Palazzo del Monte di Pietà, TourER)
