Atelier a Palazzo
EDUCATION AND TRAINING AS LEVERS FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
The project to renovate Reggiolo’s Palazzo Sartoretti, now home to the offices of the municipal administration, began in 2020 and ended in November 2022 with the opening of the Ateliers in the park adjacent to the Palazzo. Over the course of two years the building that symbolizes Reggiolo has returned to life after the 2012 earthquake thanks to a renovation and decorating project promoted by Comer Industries and numerous initiatives born out of the collaboration between institutions, business and the world of education.
Four key actors – the Municipality of Reggiolo, Comer Industries, the Reggio Children Foundation and the Azienda Servizi Bassa Reggiana – collaborated to create the “Atelier a Palazzo” project inside the historic building: a fun, educational research initiative designed for children, teens, and adults that aims to investigate the phenomena of mechanics and gears and explain them with different languages and workshop activities. The Ateliers are situated both inside the Palazzo and outside in the adjacent park: some open-air areas suitable for hosting new experiments and a mix of expressive and scientific languages were designed with the aim of encouraging interactions between children, young people, and adults and the surrounding nature, attracting numerous schoolchildren and teachers from different parts of the world and thus contributing to the promotion of the local community well beyond its borders.
Palazzo Sartoretti has become an important point of reference for art and culture, hosting permanent and temporary exhibitions in addition to the workshops of “Atelier a Palazzo.”
