About Reggio Emilia (province)
Reggio Emilia (or Reggio nell'Emilia) is one of the nine provinces of Emilia Romagna, with Parma west and Modena east.

Several invaders held it in the dying years of the Roman Empire; in 1002 AD the area became part of the March of Tuscany, later ruled by Matilda of Canossa.
