The train from Milan to Venice passes through a small town
called Reggio Emilia and Janet had told me that, as their closest large town,
it was worth visiting. The two nights I spent here were in a small guest house
which was centrally located but, with paper thin walls and very basic
facilities. However, I was glad to have stopped – it is the birthplace of the
Italian flag and one of my favourite characters Do Camillo lived in a nearby
village. The central and oldest part of the town is pedestrianised and the
narrow, cobbled alleyways echo with voices and gentle music from the small bars
set amongst the arches and around the peaceful piazzas.
