Walking and tasting in Parma

An unusual walking tour of the UNESCO Creative City for gastronomy in Italy: a perfect balance of art and taste. From the vaults on the ground floor of the old town hall, still called "Portici del grano", a thin red thread connects to the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the church of Santa Maria della Steccata, as well as to some renowned gastronomic "boutiques". Parma Ham, anolini and Parmigiano will delight your palate, while the wonderful frescoes by Correggio and Parmigianino will nourish your soul. All mixed in a single, enveloping experience.

The tour will start with an unusual breakfast. Espresso or cappuccino, served with a cannolo stuffed with a Parmigiano Reggiano cream.

Private guided tour in the cathedral, outstanding for its Romanesque structure and for the art treasures it keeps: from the Medieval Deposition from the Cross, by Benedetto Antelami, to the frescoed dome by Correggio.

Private guided tour to the most iconic monument in town, an example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture. From the exteriors, made in Veronese pink marble, the guests will enjoy the majestic interiors with their precious frescoes, their mosaic dome and the sculptures, representing the yearly cycle, a masterpiece of Benedetto Antelami, also featuring the representation of gastronomic themes.

Visit to a historic delicatessen, for a degustation of Parmigiano, local cold cuts and traditional Aceto Balsamico, matched with a glass of Lambrusco, the characteristic sparkling red wine.

Another must-do for Parma visitors, as this magnificent church features a serie of frescoes started by the Mannerist artist Francesco Mazzola, well known as Parmigianino, who mixed sacred iconography to bizarre gastronomic decorations.

Last stage, a sort of brunch to fell like an actual Parma resident: a taste of the so called "floaters", that is to say broth anolini.
