The City of Water - Discovering Reggio’s Lost Canals

A fascinating journey through the streets of Reggio Emilia’s historic center, where water - now hidden from view - has left a deep imprint on the city’s urban fabric and collective memory. This tour will guide you on a journey to rediscover the historic water network that, for centuries, supported artisanal activities and fostered commerce. As you walk through streets, courtyards, and squares, the invisible link between urban evolution and the presence of water will emerge: a vital element that has shaped not only the landscape but also the social, economic, and cultural life of the city.
