Streets and Squares Piazza Fontanesi Piazza Fontanesi was born in 1783, on what was previously a block where the convent and the parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena stood. It was rearranged towards the end of the nineteenth century, planting linden trees, but the flooring remained that was highlighted by the path of the Secchia channel that crossed the city. It is currently home to the city market, where vegetables and fruits prevail.
Streets and Squares Piazza Camillo Prampolini Piazza Prampolini was initially dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, and only after 1945, it was officially dedicated to the Reggio Emilia Camillo Prampolini. Its peculiarity is that of getting around different buildings of religious and political importance, such as the Duomo and the Bishop's Palace. On the north side, stands the Palazzo del Monte and in front of it the statue of Crostolo, which represents the river that crosses Reggio Emilia.
