135. The Classy, Colorful and Tasty City of Parma

Tasting boards in Parma can’t be beat if you are a fan of ham or cheese, or both! To taste the difference between 24 or 36 month cheese is always a treat, but then throw in the various types of parma ham for meat lovers – pure heaven! Parma is capitol of the Emilia-Romagna Food Valley and it also boasts the honor of a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy title. This small and refined city is also home to Palazzo Pilotta which houses the stunning Reading Room named after their former Duchess, and Napoleon’s 2nd wife, Maria Luigia. The Palazzo’s crown jewel, Il Teatro Farnese is one of the most extraordinary examples of theatrical architecture from the XVII century. It was almost totally destroyed in WWII, yet gratefully it has been restored to it’s former glory. We believe you can enjoy several days in this sophisticated and appetizing city! Please follow us on Face and Instagram! Instagram Facebook  Our Website: https://www.kimberlysitaly.com
