Sala del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sala del Tricolore (Italian for "Room of the Tricolor") is currently the council chamber of the Reggio Emilia comune. Designed, by the architect Lodovico Bolognini, to be the archive of the ducal family of Este, it is mostly know in connection with the creation of the Italian tricolor, from which it takes its name. This room in fact, on December 27, 1796, hosted the congress of delegates from Reggio, Modena, Bologna and Ferrara who, after proclaiming the Repubblica Cispadana, adopted on January 7, 1797 a horizontal tricolor of green, white and red (with red at the top) which is considered the first Italian tricolor.
