Gualtieri is a "comune" (municipality) in the Province of Reggio Emilia in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna, located about 70 km northwest of Bologna and about 25 km north of Reggio Emilia on the right bank of the Po River. Historically, it suffered numerous flood, the last occurring in 1951.

Main sights

Gualtieri's main attraction is its Renaissance quare "Piazza Bentivoglio", designed by Giovanni Battista Aleotti (also responsible of the Palazzo Bentivoglio, who was the residence of the Marquisses of Gualtieri). The latter has 17th century decorations and houses a museum dedicated to the painter Antonio Ligabue. Also facing the square is the "Collegiata di S. Maria della Neve", again designed by Aleotti but remade after its destruction from a flood, which houses a "Crucifizion" by Camillo Ricci.

Other sights include the 13th century church of "Sant'Andrea" and the 16th century church "Chiesa della Concezione". 6 kilometers outside Gualtieri, on the road to Reggio Emilia, is the 18th century "Palazzo Greppi".
