The Baiso area – tomorrow from 9am at the church of San Lorenzo – hosts the first national conference, free and open to the public, dedicated to the presence of the Byzantines in the Reggio Emilia area and to the Lombard and Byzantine cultural influence exercised in the whole of northern Italy between VI and VIII centuries AD.
