##### July 6 2017

*Discovering **It’s Tissue** **2018**: meet Reggio Emilia, the wounded city that gave rights to the children of the world.*

 

It was the year 898 when the Hungarians entered Reggio Emilia, devastated it and killed Bishop Azzone. It took a century for the city to heal its wounds but it emerged from that horror with a prudence of spirit and a yearning ambition that make it unique still today.

 

It is here that, during the last century, the “Reggio Emilia Approach” was born: a pioneering style of education that acknowledges children’s rights and autonomy; **it was also here that a paper mill was already operating in the mid-fifteenth century**; and it was here, too, around the same time, that the Trimonte watermark was introduced.

 

A beautiful city whose evocative, historical center dotted with churches, palazzos and fortifications contrasts with **breathtaking sights such as the Vasca di Corbelli and the Reggia Ducale di Rivalta ducal palace**.

 

Full of mystery, it can also claim a culture of ingenuity which has evolved into spirit of technological innovation. It is today the birthplace of efficient, leading-edge engineering – reliable but always original. As they say in these parts, people from Reggio Emilia *fêr a só mōten* (do things their own way).

 

This is Reggio Emilia, city of a hundred languages.
