Correggio, Medieval commune in Province of Reggio Emilia, Italy
Correggio is a town in the Province of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy, lying between the Via Emilia and the Po River. The historic center features porticoes made of Verona marble that line Corso Mazzini, creating covered walkways with arches that define the main street.
The town was an independent principality from 1009 to 1635, when it passed to the Duchy of Modena. The local ruler Siro da Correggio commissioned the Palazzo Principi in 1507, which now houses the civic museum.
The Palazzo Principi, constructed in 1507, houses the Museo Civico displaying local artifacts and artworks from different historical periods.
A weekly market takes place every Wednesday in the town center, where vendors sell fresh local produce and regional goods. The porticoed streets offer shelter from rain and shade in summer while walking through the historic quarter.
The name of the town comes from the Latin word corrigia, which means leather strap. This designation connects to a medieval legend about an ancestor who was saved by the Madonna.
