I will welcome you in the oldest point of Parma, beginning of its history and our experience!
A smile, a handshake and a very special bag with inside your tasting kit of typical delicatessen (so selectioned by the best producers) await you and from here we will start with our cultural walk along the thistle and decumanus. I will be your Cicero to discover the historic center from the Middle Ages to today: do the 'image detective', compare historical photos and current monuments and immortalize what you will meet more curious while I talk to you with idioms in dialect and anecdotes to discover the city!
