San Prospero (Reggio Emilia)
The Basilica of San Prospero is a Renaissance-style, Roman Catholic church with a late Baroque-style facade, located on Piazza di San Prospero in central Reggio Emilia, Italy. History and Exterior A church known as ''San Prospero di Castello'', located inside the city walls, is known prior to 997. San Prospero, a fifth century bishop, became the patron saint of the town. In 1514, during the expansion of the city walls, the church and its adjacent monastery, the dilapidated church, nearly in ruins, was demolished. The church was moved some 600 meters and its adjacent bell tower underwent reconstructions. By 1527, a new church was completed with designs by Luca Corti and Matteo Florentino. Minor chapels were added until 1543, when the basilica was reconsecrated. Major changes to the octagonal belltower were designed by Cristoforo Ricci and Giulio Romano in 1536–1570. The facade of the church had been left incomplete until it was completed in 1748-1753 using designs of Giovanni Batti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ferrari F.lli Lunelli S.p.A., or Ferrari Trento or Cantine Ferrari, is an Italian company specialized in the production of the traditional method sparkling wine, also called Metodo Classico or Méthode Classique. History Giulio Ferrari was born on 9 April 1879 in Calceranica al Lago, at the time part of the Austrian County of Tyrol. In 1902, he decided to make sparkling wine in Austria and in Italy with the ''metodo Ferrari'', essentially the same as the traditional ''methode Champenoise'' (method of Champagne), with the wine being aged for four to five years.

At the time, Ferrari was making 9,000 bottles per year. Giulio Ferrari died in Trento on 14 January 1965. In 1969, Bruno Lunelli, aged 63, decided to step down and leave responsibilities to the second generation: Franco (1935), Giorgio (1937), Gino ...

Bernardino Campi
Bernadino Campi (1522–1591) was an Italian Renaissance painter from Cremona, who worked in Reggio Emilia. He is known as one of the teachers of Sofonisba Anguissola and of Giovanni Battista Trotti (il Malosso). In Cremona, his extended family owned the main artistic studios.

Titian's originals were all lost in an 18th-century fire in Madrid. Bernardino was commissioned by Vespasiano Gonzaga to lead a team of artists including Pietro Martire Pesenti in ...
