San Polo d'Enza represents an important point of communication between the Reggio Emilia and Parma areas and between the plain and the Apennines; the name derives in part from S. Polo, to which a chapel was dedicated, and in part from the Enza, the river that laps its borders. Famous is its fortress and the Museum of the Resistance
