Information about Parma

Parma is magical: it is a delight to lose yourself within the galleried archways of the baptistery, the domes colourfully decorated with frescoes by Correggio and Parmegianino and to hear the beautiful opera singing coming from within the Teatro Regio. Proud Of its artistic and cultural heritage Parma is in the top ten of beautiful Italian cities. Medieval and Renaissance architecture make the historic centre a place of endless surprise. Parma was also home to some of the most important innovators, Verdi, Toscanini, Correggio, Stendhal to name a few. Parma is also famous for its food, especially ‘salumi’ or cured meats.
