Activity itinerary

Sottopasso del Ponte Romano
  • 15m
Let's start from the oldest point of the city, the Roman arches of Pons Lepidis! Let's discover its history from the Neolithic to today, seeing secular artefacts and photographs of the rediscovery of the forgotten bridge!
Piazza Ghiaia
  • 15m
First only river pebbles, then large buildings and finally the bombings: with historical images in hand we will discover the changes in the market square of the city since 1287! This will be followed by the first culinary stop in honour of the river from which everything originated: torte d'erbe and Lambrusco are waiting for you!
Palazzo della Pilotta
  • 20m
La Pilotta, what a marvel! Immense and beautiful, we will stop in the courtyard to observe the scars of the wars, the Renaissance arcades where Basque Pelota was played, the columns that have become trees and the Monument to Verdi with its incredible history! Here will be the second culinary stop… the Spalla Cotta!
Cattedrale di Parma
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
First the square, with its history full of unexpected traditions, then we will fix our gaze on the facade of the Cathedral: try to guess what should have been there... and there isn't! We will discover the political meanings of shapes and sculptures and we will enter the Cathedral to be speechless in front of the frescoes in the central nave! And then off, towards the stairway to admire Correggio's masterpiece (the dome) and find out why it caused such a sensation... so much so as to scandalise the citizens! At the exit, third culinary stop: Parmesan!
Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi
  • 20m
The Brick of Parma, an ancient measure, inaugurates the exploration of the largest square in the city! Our gaze will turn 360 degrees and we will see the Governor's Palace (and its muggings), the medieval Palazzo del Comune, the Portici, we will guess where the old civic tower was, we will say goodbye to the statue of Correggio and we will close our tour with the fourth gastronomic stop: Anolini for walking!
