Reggio Emilia

And I found this small space in Boulder called the Boulder Journey School.

So my pedagogy was Reggio Emilia-inspired practice, which I learned at Butler.

And that's based in a teaching practice out of Reggio Emilia, Italy.

And so this program in Butler would basically give you a master's degree in a year and a half, and they would take you to Reggio, and you'd learn English.

The artist who painted this picture came from a small town in the Po Valley in northern Italy.

Antonio Allegri was born around 1489 in a town near the city of Reggio Emilia as the son of a merchant.

The fact that the world knows him by the name of his hometown, Correggio, reflects a common practice of the time.

An artist was often named after where he came from.

don't know, Eddie.

So what do they do when they go to South Africa? Oh, we're at the Reggio Emilia train station.

Oh, yes.

And

Every year, our website is accessed over 3 million times, and every day we're asked, will your event be streamed? Where can I learn more? How can I visit PZ in person? People seek out PZ for our biggest hits, like the 90-plus thinking routines that originated here.

They also seek out PZ for the transformational research that has emerged from projects like Visible Thinking and Slow Looking and our work in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

But above all, educators seek out our people, like Howard Gardner, the creator of multiple intelligences theory, and David Perkins, a giant in thinking dispositions and teaching for understanding, two PZers who also happen to be founding members of our little think tank that could.

So today, in true PZ fashion, we invite you to take a breath and listen, to bring your curiosity and creative thinking to the table, and to reach out to us on social media with your questions, or just to enjoy spending a moment with us in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the grounds of the Ed School, as a valued member of our global community of practice.

Huh.

Today also marks the birth in 1955 in the blues hotbed of Reggio Emilia in Italy of a man known today simply as Zucchero.

Guarda come ride Quando ci sei tu.

Se non ti cosa dice Non ne posso più.

is pounding.

Reggio Emilia.

And I was kind of mystified.

I didn't know the opera, Rinaldo.

And it was all dark.

And there was a taxi there.

driver didn't speak any english i didn't speak any italian and we went off and after an hour and a half we still hadn't got to reggio emilia um and then the next morning uh there was a call um hotel astoria i was in in reggio emilia um and about 9.30, there was a call to my room and this German repetitor, can't remember his name, said, okay, you're on stage at 10.30. And I said, well, what do you mean on stage? And he said, they're going through act three.

I said, yeah, but I don't know it.

And it's funny because before I was on the ceramic residency and I was doing the ceramic residency and I was, I mean, my life is very Celtic, but I was doing the ceramic residency and simultaneously I had this photographic exhibition.

in Reggio Emilia in Italy.

And there I was telling people, oh, I'm doing the ceramic residency.

And so many people were doing like, oh, but why would you do this? Like, why would you do ceramics? And I don't know, to me, it just actually makes zero sense to think like this because I was doing the ceramic residency and now I came here and I'm just photographing obsessively.

Today is September 17th, 2026, and we're talking with Michela Giuliano.

He is Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical, Metabolic, and Neurosciences at University of Medina and Reggio Emilia.

He's also associate professor of physiology at CISA in Trieste.

So are those two places near each other?
