Description
Located in the lower Po Valley, where foggy harsh winters reign supreme, Parma registers the unique microclimate suitable for the production of gorgeous, tasty products such as the Culatello di Zibello, Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan) and Prosciutto di Parma. Seasonal contrasts, and the moisture of the old cellars, are indeed responsible for getting out their whole organoleptic content, a real explosion of flavors and taste.
Parma is in fact one of the first ambassadors of the Made in Italy brand around the world, with top level typical DOP products, but it is not just food. Italian Capital of Culture 2020-2021, it is the birthplace of composer Giuseppe Verdi and the maestro Arturo Toscanini. Fine arts and architecture are also a must: a wooden 17th century Theatre, the National Art Gallery, proudly listing Gothic and Renaissance painters like Parmigianino, and Leonardo da Vinci, the Baptistery… these are the hidden gems you can reach with just a stroll in the old city centre. Visiting Parma with us will satisfy all your senses!
