Reggia di Rivalta, Baroque villa in Rivalta, Italy
The palace consists of a central north-south building with two perpendicular wings and angular towers, forming a quadrangular courtyard open to the west.
Architect Giovan Maria Ferraroni designed this palace in 1723 for Francesco III d'Este and Carlotta d'Orleans, drawing inspiration from the Palace of Versailles.
The gardens contained 440 citrus vases, 350 statues, and numerous decorative elements in terracotta and marble, connected by underground water systems.
The Municipality of Reggio Emilia acquired the property in 2004 and continues to invest in structural maintenance and restoration projects.
The original garden featured marble staircases, gentle grass-covered slopes, grottoes, fountains, a maze, and tree-lined avenues within its walls and bastions.
