Route description

Starting from Reggio Emilia, past about 2 km is the Lombroso Pavilion on the left, now Psychiatry History Museum. The whole complex looks like a large park, inside which buildings of various types and periods are located.

On the opposite side, continuing for another 2 km, you will find the "Mauriziano" or "Casino dell’Ariosto", the summer home of the poet Ludovico Ariosto who resided here, as guest of the cousins ​​Malaguzzi Valeri. It is a building of the typical XV-century Emilian architecture, which houses magnificent Ariostesque rooms (called dressing rooms) on the first floor. The access avenue from via Emilia consists of a double row of ancient poplars and the unmistakable terracotta arch.

Historical Information

Historical evidence shows that already in 1200-1300, the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese had reached its perfect typicality that has remained unchanged until the present day. Today like in the past, cheese masters continue in their effort and in their risk by sincerely and proudly persisting in making their cheese with solely milk, rennet, fire and art, and in abiding by the rigorous centuries-old methods and application of the technique that is the result of special vocations and matured experiences. The recent history of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is essentially the history of how the approximately 350 small artisan dairies of the typical area (that encompasses about nine thousand milk producers) has obtained, by way of Law, the recognition of their determination in preserving the processing method and the very high qualitative level of the product.

Guided tours of diaries

If you are fond of Italian food, you cannot miss the chance of seeing the traditional processing techniques with your own eyes at the Parmigiano-Reggiano dairies! The guided tours can be scheduled all the year, except holidays. It's necessary a reservation. It's possible to get in touch with the Consortium more or less 1 week before the visit or to directly contact the diaries (select the province and the desired day).

The process starts at 08:00 am and takes about 2 hours. During this time you will see all stages of the productive process. At the end of the visit, in dairies with shop, you can taste and buy the cheese.

Seeing the traditional processing techniques is an experience that fascinates adults and kids, for this reason it’s recommended to everyone. The guided tours are free of charge and can be in Italian or other languages, by agreement with the relevant section office.

The story started way back in 1995 when the Correggio-based cooperative Andria (named after one of Italo Calvino’s invisible cities and with a long history of building human-friendly ‘dream’ neighbourhoods) decided to create a neighbourhood especially for children.

The history of Coriandoline

Children: an odd target for the construction of something as solid as houses. But in 1995 the architect who designed the project, Luciano Pantaleoni (previously the cooperative’s Director as well) together with pedagogy specialist Laura Malavasi, set the project in motion inviting 12 local schools to collaborate with them. Thus, 700 children helped by 50 teachers, 2 pedagogy specialists and a further 20 participants including architects and engineers, “pedarchitects and archigogists” (the term used by Luciano to describe his and Laura’s new role in this project) started putting down their initial ideas on paper and video.

In the neighbourhood, besides the see-through house with glass panels all around, there are also doorbells decorated with the names of the household members (all of them, including cats, and not just surnames), and in the tower houses, in addition to the lifts, there are also helter-skelter slides next to the stairs. Then there is the Coriandoli Workshop (coriandoli means confetti in Italian) which is used as a common room for meetings and gatherings and acts as a sort of documentation centre of the project. All the drawings made by the children and Luzzati, who worked with them, are assembled here alongside the plastic model and, hanging from – or rather nailed to – the walls, are some old manuals.

At every time, Reggio Emilia offers its best side to its guests: an interesting historical and artistic heritage, a town of art and culture, also known for the birth of the Tricolour flag; natural landscape and territory from the rocky peaks and green valleys of the Apennine mountains and the gentle hills of the Countess Matilda, to the flat Po plain that slopes down to the great River Po; a renowned enogastronomy and culinary art in which Parmigiano-Reggiano, Lambrusco and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar are the main products. All that in the Motor Valley where Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Ducati, are just a few of many elements of this land, synonymous with glamour and passion.
