Palazzo dei Congressi, Salsomaggiore Terme

The building is decorated in Liberty style and after being acquired by the commune in 1965, the site now hosts both civic entities such as the town library (Biblioteca Comunale Gian Domenico Romagnosi); a hotel management training school (Istituto Superiore G. Magnaghi); as well as serves as a small convention center.

The facade has a decorative brick layout, with horizontal rustication in the base but at the top floor, a lively frieze of floral tiles, designed by Gottardo Valentini.

After the first world war, the hotel was ceded to the Società Anonima Grandi Alberghi Salsomaggiore, which enlarged the hotel and added new elaborate rooms, including the Salone Moresco, the Taverna Rossa, and loggia designed by Ugo Giusti and Galileo Chini.

The artist Antonio Veronesi helped decorate the cupola of the Salone Moresco, with stain glass windows from the Chini factory of Borgo San Lorenzo.

Finally Franco Spicciani created the lacquered tables and chairs of the Taverna Rossa.
