In my opinion in Parma<\/strong> you can still today breathe the atmosphere of an old capital.<\/strong> It\u2019s a quiet and refined provincial town located in the middle of the Po Valley,<\/strong> and it offers a lot to those who love discovering uncrowded locations that are not touched by mass tourism yet.

\nI\u2019ll take you first to the Palazzo della Pilotta,<\/strong> which in the past was the service palace of the Dukes<\/strong> of Parma. Inside it today we can find Parma\u2019s most important museums, as well as the astonishing Teatro Farnese, the Farnese Theatre,<\/strong> an architectural masterpiece by Giovanbattista Aleotti.<\/strong> You cannot really miss it, if it\u2019s your first time in Parma.
\nNext we will go to the Duomo, Parma\u2019s Cathedral,<\/strong> where we\u2019ll find masterpieces by artists as Correggio,<\/strong> a painter that I like a lot, because he reached levels of incomparable refinement and delicacy, and Benedetto Antelami,<\/strong> a moving sculptor<\/strong> who was also the architect of the Baptistery<\/strong> that, with its marble covering, is still today one of Parma\u2019s symbols.
\nAfter a short walk through the lanes of the centre, we\u2019ll get to the Steccata<\/strong> Church where Parmigianino<\/strong> frescoed the Ten Virgins.<\/strong> In this case however there just are six young and beautiful girls; every time I see them, they amaze me for their balanced and murmured elegance.<\/strong>
\nAlmost before the Steccatata Church, we can appreciate the neoclassical fa\u00e7ade of the Teatro Regio,<\/strong> a real temple of music. Parma\u2019s most beloved Duchess, Maria Luigia, wanted it, and the names of several great musicians of the past and of the present are strictly tied to this building: Toscanini, Paganini, Verdi<\/strong> and more.
\nWe\u2019ll finish our tour through Parma on Piazza Garibaldi, Garibaldi Square,<\/strong> the liveliest square of my town, where we meet our friends for going shopping, having a gelato, a coffee\u2026<\/p>\n
