Poviglio
Poviglio is famous for the archaeological discovery of the Terramara di Santa Rosa, the largest of its kind in Europe.
Poviglio is located in the lower Reggio Emilia plain, about 22 km from Reggio Emilia.
It is a charming destination for lovers of history, archaeology and nature. Its territory is home to the Terramara di Santa Rosa, the largest in Europe, a unique testament to Bronze Age civilization.
Poviglio offers something to discover in every season. In spring, it is ideal to walk through the fields and enjoy the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, amidst flowers, local products, street artists and performances.
Summer is perfect for exploring the countryside and taking part in the excavation campaigns at the Terramara di Santa Rosa, with free guided tours that recount the area’s millennia-old history.
In the cooler months, autumn and winter, you can visit museums, such as the Terramara Museum, and treat yourself to a journey through the flavours of Poviglio’s traditions in the local restaurants.
