Greppi Palace was built between 1770 and 1785 by the Counts Greppi of Milano, who had acquired from the Este dynasty a vast farming estate in the Santa Vittoria area.

The Palace, about 144 metres long, is composed of three main interconnected wings. Its originality lies in the combination of productive functions tied to the land with the features of a traditional noble residence. The west wing includes a double loggia, opening onto large rooms once likely used as warehouses or for silkworm breeding. The east wing also features a loggia, with the first floor housing the farmer’s family apartments. Between these two wings stood the landlords’ residence: the central hall, nicknamed the “teatrino” (Eng. small theatre), is an early example of Neoclassical decoration in the Reggio area.

In 1912, the Palace and part of the estate were purchased by the Cooperativa Agricola di Santa Vittoria (a local agricultural cooperative, and one of the most prominent in Italy), marking a significant moment in the historical, economic, political, and social development of the land.

In 1974, the municipal administration took possession of the Palace, restoring it to host accommodations and community services.
