Corso Vallisneri

Corso Vallisneri was planned by Giovanni Boiardo and his son Giulio in the first half of the 16th century.

 

Corso Vallisneri - 42019 Scandiano

The current layout of the street is therefore the result of the first significant urbanistic expansion of Scandiano carried out in 1548 by initiative of Count Giulio Boiardo. The street that extended from the Crocetta church (demolished during the hospital construction works) to the Tresinaro River was called Strada Maestra (High Road) or Giulia, along where originally stood the homes of the important Scandiano families: Sartini, Girardi, Gambari, Ruggeri and Malvezzi, whose names have long disappeared from the town registry. At the western end of via Vallisneri was the gate called Tresinaro or Reggio, built in 1772 during the government of the family of the Marquis de' Mari, then destroyed (the first of the town’s gates) in 1883
