Reggio nell'Emilia - Cathedral

A little way south of the Piazza Cesare Battisti is the large Piazza Prampolini on the east side of which stands the cathedral (13th century, rebuilt in 15th-16th centuries). Behind the unfinished Renaissance facade is the original Romanesque structure, with remains of frescoes and sculpture (on the facade and in the interior) by Prospero Spani (d. 1584), a pupil of Michelangelo's and Bartolomeo Spani, both natives of Reggio.
