In Piazza Prampolini, Catherine was greeted by Reggio Emilia’s mayor, Marco Massari. The Princess greeted the crowds before entering the Sala del Tricolore to receive honours privately.
Mayor Massari held an official meeting with the princess, accompanied by historical figures such as Eletta Bertani and Ione Bartoli, pioneers of the Reggio Children system in the 1960s.
After leaving town hall, the Princess of Wales visited the Loris Malaguzzi International Center, headquarters of the Reggio Emilia Approach.

Princess of Wales met with three individuals who played a fundamental role in shaping the philosophy of the Reggio Emilia Approach:
• Eletta Bertani, the first president of Reggio Children from 1994 to 2000 and one of the founders of the educational model.
• Ione Bartoli, the first female councilor of the Emilia-Romagna Region and a pioneer alongside Bertani in the battles for women’s emancipation.
• Carla Maria Nironi, a close collaborator of Loris Malaguzzi who participated in the birth and growth of Reggio Children.

what a great visit! I’m enjoying learning about this org.
side note: love Kate’s outfit, I wish the pants were tailored slightly shorter though.
I just adore her 😍
