LORIS MALAGUZZI CENTRE
The Loris Malaguzzi International Centre was created in order to make the most of what is a defining feature of the city of Reggio Emilia - its capacity to raise awareness of the rights and needs of children.
The centre is a place where potential can be realised, making it not only useful but actually essential for a city that is constantly changing. In 1998, Reggio Emilia City Council purchased the former Locatelli cheese storage facility with a view to making it a symbol of the transformation of the northern part of Reggio Emilia, which had been the city's first industrial area.
The centre built on the site is a place where children come first, where youngsters are given the opportunity to be creative and where training and innovation are the order of the day.
Although not as yet completed, the centre is very much an open environment, where different cultures, ideas and hopes have free reign and imagination comes into its own.
The Annamaria and Marco Gerra Auditorium has a seating capacity of 418 and can be divided into two separate rooms that may be utilised at the same time.
The auditorium is fully equipped with state-of-the-art technologies (control room, simultaneous translation, videoconferencing) to provide the right support for all types of events.
The Annamaria and Marco Gerra Auditorium is easily accessible by all forms of transport:
- it is located only a few kilometres from the Reggio Emilio motorway toll gate, and has a large car park with 900 spaces
- it is only a few minutes' walk through a pedestrian underpass from the railway station
- the new local bus station is located in the square in front of the entrance to the auditorium.
