The territory that surrounds Reggio Emilia is characterised by several
traces of the Roman presence too. The most meaningful findings of the last
years come from the area of Campegine, known for the presence of a Neolithic
village discovered by Gaetano Chierici in the XIX century. The construction
of a new motorway toll-house near Caprara has allowed the discovery of a
Roman rustic villa, inhabited between the I and the IV cent. A.D. In the
same area some parts of the Roman underground aqueduct have also been
explored: it brought drinking water from the sources of the Gruma to the
important fortified village of Brescello, on the Po river. |
