Reggio nell'Emilia referred to as Reggio Emilia or colloquially Reggio by its inhabitants, is a city in northern Italy, in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is the main comune of the Province of Reggio Emilia; the inhabitants of Reggio nell'Emilia are called Reggiani, while the inhabitants of Reggio di Calabria, in the southwest of the country, are called Reggini. The old town has a hexagonal form, which derives from the ancient walls, the main buildings are from the 16th–17th centuries; the commune's territory lies on a plain, crossed by the Crostolo stream. Reggio began as a historical site with the construction by Marcus Aemilius Lepidus of the Via Aemilia, leading from Piacenza to Rimini. Reggio became a judicial administration centre, with a forum called at first Regium Lepidi simply Regium, whence the city's current name. During the Roman age Regium is cited only by Festus and Cicero, as one of the military stations on the Via Aemilia. However, it was a flourishing city, a Municipium with its own statutes and art colleges.

Apollinaris of Ravenna brought Christianity in the 1st century CE. The sources confirm the presence of a bishopric in Reggio after the Edict of Milan. In 440 the Reggio diocese was placed under the jurisdiction of Ravenna by Western Roman Emperor Valentinianus III. At the end of the 4th century, Reggio had decayed so much that Saint Ambrose included it among the dilapidated cities. Further damage occurred with the Barbarian invasions. After the deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476 Reggio was part of Odoacer's realm. In 489 it came under Ostrogothic control. Reggio was chosen as Duchy of Reggio seat. In 773 the Franks took Reggio. Charlemagne gave the bishop the authority to exercise royal authority over the city and established the diocese' limits. In 888 Reggio was handed over to the Kings of Italy. In 899 the Magyars damaged it, killing Bishop Azzo II; as a result of this, new walls were built. On 31 October 900 Emperor Louis III gave authority for the erection of a castrum in the city's centre.

In 1002 Reggio's territory, together with that of Parma, Modena and Ferrara, were merged into the March of Tuscany held by Matilde of Canossa. Reggio became a free commune around the beginning of the 12th century. In 1167 it took part in the Battle of Legnano. In 1183 the city signed the Treaty of Konstanz, from which the city's consul, Rolando della Carità, received the imperial investiture; the subsequent peace spurred a period of prosperity: Reggio adopted new statutes, had a mint, schools with celebrated masters, developed its trades and arts. It increasingly subjugated the castles of the neighbouring areas. At this time the Crostolo stream was deviated westwards; the former course of the stream was turned into an avenue called Corso della Ghiara, nowadays Corso Garibaldi. The 12th and 13th century, were a period of violent internal struggle between the Scopazzati and Mazzaperlini parties, those of Ruggeri and Malaguzzi, involved in a bitter domestic rivalry. In 1152 Reggio warred with Parma and in 1225 with Modena, as part of the general struggle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.

In 1260 25,000 penitents, led by a Perugine hermit, entered the city, this event calmed the situation for a while, spurring a momentous flourishing of religious fervour. But disputes soon resurfaced, as early as 1265 the Ghibellines killed the Guelph's leader, Caco da Reggio, gained preeminence. Arguments with the Bishop continued and two new parties formed, the Inferiori and Superiori. Final victory went to the latter. To thwart the abuses of powerful families such as the Sessi and Canossa, the Senate of Reggio gave the city's rule for a period of three years to Obizzo II d'Este; this choice marked the future path of Reggio under the seignory of the latter's family, as Obizzo continued to rule de facto after his mandate has ceased. His son Azzo was expelled by the Reggiani in 1306. In 1310 the Emperor Henry VII imposed Marquis Spinetto Malaspina as vicar, but he was soon driven out; the republic ended in 1326. The city was subsequently under the suzerainty of John of Bohemia, Nicolò Fogliani and Mastino I della Scala, who in 1336 gave it to Luigi Gonzaga.

Gonzaga built a citadel in the St. Nazario quarter, destroyed 144 houses. In 1356 the Milanese Visconti, helped by 2,000 exiled Reggiani, captured the city, starting an unsettled period of powersharing with the Gonzaga. In the end the latter sold Reggio to the Visconti for 5,000 ducats. In 1405 Ottobono Terzi of Parma seized Reggio, but was killed by Michele Attendolo, who handed the city over to Nicolò III d'Este, who therefore became seignor of Reggio; the city, maintained a relevant autonomy, with laws and coinage of its own. Niccolò was succeeded by his illegitimate son Lionello, from 1450, by Borso d'Este. In 1452 Borso was awarded the title of Duke of Modena and Reggio by Frederick III. Borso's successor, Ercole I, imposed heavy levies on the city and appointed the poet Matteo Maria Boiardo, born in the nearby town of Scandiano, as its governor. Another famous Italian writer, Francesco Guicciardini, held the same position. In 1474, Ludovico Ariosto, author of Orlando Furioso, was born in the Malag

So, Skye decided to continue pretending to be in a coma, began lurking through the secret passages in the Chandler mansion to spy on everyone, she "awoke" from her coma, but faked paralysis in a futile attempt to guilt Tom to stay with her. When she learned Tom and Barbara were still seeing each other, she kidnapped Barbara, an action that prompted Tom to have Skye committed to the Oak Haven sanitarium, where she flirted with fellow patient Travis Montgomery.

After overcoming her addiction, her father, concocted a plan to use Skye to spy on his old enemy Palmer Cortlandt. Adam wanted Skye to date Palmer's nephew Will and thereby learn corporate secrets that would allow him to destroy his rival. Little known to them Palmer had the same idea to use Will to gain information on Adam through Skye; the two spies fell in love and convinced their families that no useful information could be gained by continuing this maneuver. Adam and Palmer forbade them from seeing each other, forcing them to set up secret meetings. Both Adam and Palmer reluctantly accepted their relationship. However, when Will was suspected of poisoning Palmer, Skye admitted to Will that she wasn't sure whether or not he was telling the truth about having nothing to do with it, broke off their relationship. Skye ignored Will's pleas for her to stay in Pine Valley and decided to move to Minnesota to work with recovering addicts..

In a twist of fate, fellow town pariah, Janet Green, was captured by Jonathan when she became suspicious of him when she was his secretary, found that Skye was being held captive. Janet didn't know that Skye was Adam's daughter because she was going by the name Toni- short for Antoinette. While Janet went for help, Skye stumbled onto the Hunting Lodge.

After the birth of Maria's baby, Dimitri was still believed to be the father of the child. Edmund never got back together with Maria to raise Maddie. Skye made a promise to herself to tell Edmund, she tried telling him, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it, so she wrote it in a letter and sent it to Maria. Maria did not read it. Maria never got the chance to tell Edmund the good news. After Edmund returned home from the hospital, Skye devoted her time to helping him out. Little did; every time she tried to tell him about the paternity test, he couldn't hear her. Dimitri won. Dimitri took Maddie to the hospital for a check up and found out that Maddie's blood type was different than his. Dimitri found out that Skye had changed the paternity test and threatened to kill Skye if she told Edmund about the results swap.
