Gualtieri, Renaissance commune in Province of Reggio Emilia, Italy
The municipality extends near the Po River at 22 meters above sea level, featuring the Piazza Bentivoglio with its 69 arched porticoes and Renaissance architecture.
In 1567, Alfonso D'Este granted Gualtieri to Cornelio Bentivoglio, who initiated extensive land reclamation projects that shaped the current layout of the territory.
The Palazzo Bentivoglio contains the Documentary Museum and Antonio Ligabue Study Center, displaying works of the notable painter who resided in the municipality.
The Teatro Sociale, located within Palazzo Bentivoglio, presents theatrical and musical performances throughout summer in an unconventional setup with reversed stage and stalls.
The Salone dei Giganti in Palazzo Bentivoglio displays frescoes depicting scenes from Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered across its upper floor ceiling.
