Overview

Parma, refined emilian city, has been shaped through the centuries by great architects and painters such as Antelami, Parmigianino and Correggio. Great master Correggio painted illusionistic frescoes inside the Chamber of Saint Paul, the Church of Saint John and the Cathedral, while Benedetto Antelami projected and decorated the amazing medieval Baptistry in the religious area. Other outstanding landmarks in Parma not to be missed are the Opera theatre Teatro Regio (Royal Theatre) and Teatro Farnese, the latter hosted inside the imposing Palazzo Pilotta.
