Parma is a charming city, full of life. The second biggest city of Emilia Romagna has a lively and cheerful spirit. Art and music have always played a key role in Parma, so that the city earned the title of "city of music" due to its musical history (Giuseppe Verdi was born in Busseto, a stone's throw from Parma).

Parma was also the capital of a duchy that flourished during the Middle Ages. This prosperity has left an important trace that you can see on the streets of the historic center among theatres, churches, monasteries and chic villas.
