Viano

Province: Reggio Emilia · Region: Emilia-Romagna · Population: 3,377 · Postal code: 42030

At Regnano there is a cold volcano: the salse, where what comes out of the ground is not fire but mud, pushed up at the temperature of the air. The castle, for its part, stands on a ridge between the Tresinaro and the rio Faggiano, and from the first half of the fifteenth century it belonged to the Fogliani, the same family that held Baiso, the village next door.

The arms do not come from a lord: the comune took them from the seal it used in the days of the Napoleonic Italian Republic, on which the symbols of justice were shown intertwined. In the territory, moreover, one name comes round three times: Castello Querciola, San Giovanni di Querciola and Casola Querciola. At Regnano the church of San Prospero is of 1858.
