Parma, small great capital

Parma is a small capital where the ancient and modern meet.
The streets are rich in masterpieces, and history can be felt while walking along its paths, step by step.
 

Today, Parma is the bastion of the EFSA European Food Safety Authority since 2002. This allows it to be a leading city in the national and international Food scene. 
 

Between the Alps, the Apennines, and the Adriatic Sea lies an area called: Food Valley, encompassing the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, and Modena. In this area, you can find the production of the best typical Italian cured meats such as Prosciutto Crudo di Parma or Culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano, and walnut liqueurs like Nocino. In particular, Parmigiano cuisine is considered the capital of Italian gastronomy with its excellent products.
 

In Parma, you can admire the magnificent Romanesque Duomo, listed among the masterpieces of the period, where visitors can be dazzled by the spectacular “Assumption of the Virgin” by Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio. Also in piazza Duomo, there is the Baptistery, commissioned to Benedetto Antelami in 1196, with an architecture featuring Romanesque and Gothic elements, along with the Bishop’s Palace.
