Guided tours in Parma

Parma is a city to walk, to eat, to smell, to listen to. It's my city! Its historic center is compact, seemingly divided by a stream named after it, Parma. It absorbs the crisp air of the Apennines and welcomes the humid fog of the Po River.

The Romans founded it, the Bishops and Counts of the Middle Ages left it an extraordinary Cathedral Square, and dukes and duchesses enriched it with works of art, churches and palaces, villas, gardens, and theaters. During the Second World War, it suffered under bombing, and reconstruction gave it modern architecture. It is famous for its food, its music, Correggio's domes, its aromas, and the castles on the hills and plains that surround it. It is small like its province but surprising, even for me, a native of Parma. Together, we will see its most beautiful and least-known places, and we will discuss its history, but also the many stories that have passed through it, step by step.
