European Photography

April 30 - June 14, 2026

Set off for a weekend in Reggio Emilia, the City of the Tricolour, easily reachable by train, and let yourself be immersed in art, flavors, and springtime atmospheres. From April 30 to June 14, 2026, a stay designed for those who want to discover the city during the 21st edition of the Fotografia Europea festival.

"Fotografia Europea 2026 experience"

April 30 - June 14, 2026

Hidden memories and urban art in dialogue with Fotografia Europea. A special journey through the historic center and the northern district of the city, discovering sites of urban transformation. From Joan Fontcuberta’s collective artwork at the Chiostri di San Pietro to the Mirabello Stadium and the Ex Mangimificio Caffarri, we will walk between memory and the contemporary.

We’ll explore spaces that no longer exist in their original form and those we are witnessing slowly empty out and transform, making room for new stimuli and ideas. This itinerary is dedicated to urban art, industrial architecture, and our "everyday ghosts," all in dialogue with the 2026 Fotografia Europea Festival.

Reggio Emilia - Memories of the Present

Journalism festival for readers aged 7-14.

Internazionale Kids in Reggio Emilia

Tales which turn Reggio Emilia into the Town of Stories.

May 22-24, 2026

A journey through art, collective memory, and architecture at the Monumental Cemetery of Reggio Emilia, founded in the 17th century and transformed in the 19th century based on a design by Domenico Marchelli. Walking among porticoes, sculptures, mosaics, frescoes and monumental tombs created by masters such as Prospero Sorgato and Anselmo Govi, we will discover how this neoclassical space tells the story of the city’s identity and past through artistic forms and the lives of notable characters.

Monumental Cemetery

On the occasion of Reggionarra, an exploratory, child-friendly visit-game through green areas, museums and squares in the historic center of Reggio Emilia. Step by step, young explorers will be guided along a path full of stories and discoveries: they will listen to tales, closely observe majestic trees - such as the evocative Cedar of Lebanon - encounter curious animals, and discover symbolic statues of the city.
Entrances: Tricolour Flag Museum and Palazzo dei Musei for Reggionarra stories.

Explorers of the City of the Tricolour Flag
