Description

Between an ancient cellar brimming with Parmigiani and Prosciutti and a peaceful incursion into the guide’s preferred deli to grab some Tortelli or Anolini for the day, you will also hear about the historical and artistic heritage of the petite Versailles. 

Indeed, with its 1.000-year-old ensemble of Cathedral and Baptistery, its gracious Renaissance frescoes on the domes, the stunning wooden architecture of Teatro Farnese, and the neoclassic Teatro Regio wrapped in the unmistakable yellow nuance called Giallo Parma. The town is a miniature summary of all the eras and styles that have shaped Italy throughout its history.

What if, at the end of the tour, you get to enjoy the secret cellars of a 16th-century palace with a typical tasting lunch served on a very, very special table? No more spoilers…See you there!
