History & Context

History The Tuscan-Emilian Apennines in the province of Reggio Emilia have been a crossroads of cultures since prehistoric times. Archaeological sites at Pietra di Bismantova and the high-altitude caves of the Corno alle Scale reveal Neolithic flint tools and Bronze Age pottery, attesting to early pastoral communities exploiting seasonal alpine pastures. During the Iron Age, Ligurian tribes—known locally as the Friniati—established fortified hilltop villages, leveraging the Apennine ridge for natural defense against Etruscan and later Gallic incursions.
