PARMA

The city is situated between the Po Valley, the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, and the Ligurian coast in the northern part of Emilia-Romagna, along the Via Emilia.

Its central district, which is abundant in artistic masterpieces, roomy green spaces, and tiny and huge treasures from many centuries, welcomes both tourists and locals in the elegant setting of a small city. The presence of music in the city’s history is varied and richly known. In addition to being famous for Giuseppe Verdi and Arturo Toscanini, the city’s lively initiative and collective passion rightfully assign it a prominent place among the music capitals. 

Its gourmet heritage, which offers not only outstanding cured meats and cheeses but also top-notch fresh pasta dishes, should not be undervalued.
