The patronage of this church—dedicated to Saint Thomas of Canterbury—takes us geographically away from the Italian peninsula, across the Alps, and further north to the British Isles. In terms of time, we return to the 12th century. Thomas Becket was Archbishop of Canterbury and, in the conflict between the Church and the Crown (King Henry II), a "martyr of canon law and ecclesiastical freedom," as Pope Alexander III put it on the occasion of his canonization (1173, just three years after Thomas's violent death). His feast day in the calendar of saints is December 29th.

Museum for the seven Cervi brothers killed by the fascists. In 2021, the exhibition was completely revised. Fortunately, without extensive digitization. Here you can visit some of the Cervi family's living quarters, understand the development of local agriculture and the resistance of large parts of the population against fascism. One room is also dedicated to the development of the culture of remembrance in Italy since 1945.

Under the arcades of the town hall of Gattatico there are two simple plaques in memory of those who died for the freedom of the town in general and of the local Carabinieri who resisted disarmament by the German troops on September 9, 1943. https://www.pietredellamemoria.it/pietre/lapide-ai-caduti-per-la-liberta-gattatico-re/

On November 6, 1944, the base of the fascist National Guard GNR was attacked here. In retaliation, the two partisans of the 77th SAP Brigade, Aminto and Ovidio Gennaroli, and the former mayor Dante Manfredi were executed the following day. https://www.pietredellamemoria.it/pietre/cippo-ad-aminto-e-ovidio-gennaroli-gattatico-re/

The Casa Cervi Museum is located in the lower Reggio Emilia plain and is located in the farmhouse where the Cervi family arrived in 1934 to work as sharecroppers. During the final phase of World War II, seven sons of Alcide and Genoeffa Cervi were shot in December 1943 in retaliation. Their house thus became one of the most important places of memory of national liberation and has remained so until today.

The Pantaro di Sotto, together with the nearby Pantaro di Sopra, makes up an incredible complex of villas that date back to the 16th century. The Pantaro di Sotto preserves part of a fortified villa perhaps founded by the Dukes of Parma.
