Cassa di espansione del Fiume Secchia, Regional nature reserve in Campogalliano, Italy.

The Secchia River Expansion Basin extends across 260 hectares between Modena and Reggio Emilia provinces, featuring water basins surrounded by embankments and riverside forests.

The reserve originated from a hydraulic infrastructure project in 1980, when engineers constructed a dam with a ten-meter-high weir to prevent flooding in the area.

The reserve headquarters occupies the Corte Ospitale, a 16th-century building that functioned as a shelter for travelers crossing the Secchia River.

The area includes marked nature trails, visitor centers, and information points, allowing guests to observe water birds and wetland vegetation throughout the year.

The reserve contains four discharge outlets and a selective comb weir, creating artificial environments that replicate the former Rubiera Valley marshlands.
