Reggio Emilia capped Princess Catherine’s two-day solo visit, where she marked the international expansion of her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
The Princess of Wales used the northern Italy trip to study the city’s child-centered education model, long seen as a leading approach to early childhood development.
Day-two stops included Remida, a creative recycling center, and the Salvador Allende public nursery and preschool, where she examined how sustainability, industry and nature-based learning support young children.
The visit ended at a rural farm stay in Felino, where Catherine helped prepare tortelli, wrapping up what was described as her first overseas royal engagement since her cancer scare.
