Parma Italy

Parma is a city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, famous for its prosciutto, cheese, architecture, music, and surrounding countryside. It is home to the University of Parma, one of the oldest universities in the world. Parma is divided into two parts by a stream of the same name. The district on the far side of the river is called Oltretorrente. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS • Museo Glauco Lombardi is a particularly interesting and well-designed museum that documents the life of Maria Luigia, the second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and Duchess of Parma. • Piazza Duomo is where you’ll find the city’s cathedral and baptistery, both built in the late 12th century. The baptistery was designed by Benedetto Antelami and is constructed from a pink marble called rosso di Verona. • Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi is the site of the original Roman colony founded in 183 BC. Today, the modern square contains shops and restaurants, as well as the Palazzo del Governatore, with a façade dating to 1760 and an astronomical clock. • Palazzo della Pilotta is a 16th-century complex of buildings constructed as the court of the famed Renaissance Farnese family.
