Historical notes

The first evidence of human settlement in the area dates from the II century BC. This was contemporaneous with the gradual process of land reclamation from a vast marshy area which originally extended north from Reggio Emilia to the river Po called the “Bondeno”.
In the period between the XI and XIV centuries the area remained under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monks of the San Prospero monastery.
In 1335 the monastery was destroyed and the land passed to the Gonzaga family.
Later the town came under the rule of the Este family of Modena, continuing up to the end of the XVIII century.
Their rule was interrupted by the well-known series of events connected to the French Revolution.
During this latter period the local council area was split in two (Bagnolo and San Tommaso), both parts then to be united with Reggio Emilia in 1814.
These days Bagnolo in Piano displays a renewed confidence and belief both in its past and its future, with the recovery and protection of its historic past on the one hand and its development of modern architecture and town planning on the other.

Not to be missed

The town’s most important historic building is the Torrazzo, symbol of the Comune (the local government).
Building began in 1354 on behalf of the Gonzaga family as a fortification and defence of the roads joining Reggio Emilia and Mantua.
It was destroyed by invading French troops in 1702 (only the tower or keep now remaining).
Still in the heart of the town, Gonzaga - Ilva Ligabue Municipal Theatre, with a simple but pleasing late Art Nouveau style, offers an interesting theatre programme. 
The following are also of interest: XVIII-century parish church dedicated to San Francesco da Paola (the town’s patron saint), the XII-century church dedicated to the Santissima Immacolata Concezione (Holy Immaculate Conception) at Pieve Rossa in the village of Fossetta and the “Cà Rossa” rural estate dating back to the XVII century.

Parish Church

Historical notes

The Church of San Francesco, with the annexed convent, was built by the wishes of Count Alfonso Gonzaga.
The first stone of the building was laid down by the Bishop of Reggio Emilia, Monsignor Giulio Masetti, on 1 August 1588. Although the church itself was built over a short period of time, the convent was still to be completed by 1645.
The Minims Fathers lived there until 1768 and subsequently moved to Modena.
The church has a liturgical orientation and a tripartite façade, intersected by slender pilaster strips surmounted by small arches, with a rose window above the archivolt portal.
There are several valuable artworks inside the church as well as a wooden choir.

Historical notes

The Municipal Theatre stands in the central Garibaldi Square. It was designed in 1919 by the Engineer Aldo Govoni and was inaugurated in 1924. The façade has a simple and classical aspect and it is topped by a decorated timpanum with bass-reliefs in Liberty style. The general style of the building and the decoration (without painted sides), is of simple but lovely late-Liberty style.

Historical notes

The Torazzo, or great tower, built to an unusual plan, dominates the square Garibaldi, and has become the symbol of the town. A baroque bell chamber surmounts the large, brick structure, last remaining vestige of the ancient castle of Bagnolo.
Building was begun on the fortifications in 1354 by the Gonzaga family, lords of Novellara and Bagnolo, but the stronghold was subsequently destroyed in 1702 during Spanish war of succession. In memory of castle's past glories, the new arcades running from Town Hall to the post office bear the name "Galleria della Rocca" (Fortress Gallery).
