thumb|upright=0.9|Po (river)|Po river basin Luceria is an ancient city in the northern Apennines, located in the comune of Canossa in the Province of Reggio Emilia, on the right bank of the river Enza.
== Toponym == The name might derive from lucus, which means "sacred grove". It is not clear if this was the proper name of the city or if it was called Nuceria. The little stream which separates Canossa from San Polo d'Enza is still called the Rio Luceria today. The name of this stream is fairly old as it appears in the 1364 property records of Azzo da Correggio as Rivum Luxerae.
