Palazzo del Monte was the first seat of the Municipality of Reggio, which endowed it with its soaring tower in 1216. Ceded to the Monte di Pietà (mount of piety institution) in the 15th century, its hall remained the centre of Reggio’s social life: it was in fact transformed into a theatre as early as 1564 and inaugurated in the presence of Barbara of Austria, wife of Alfonso II. The hall was renovated over the centuries by Gaspare Vigarani and the Bibiena brothers, but was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1740.
