Parma is the birthplace of two great painters, (Correggio and Il Parmigianino) and the conductor Arturo Toscanini. It has an outstanding history, especially when it was ruled by the Farnese family (1545-1731) and then by the Bourbon-Parma dynasty, who governed the duchy of Parma- Piacenza, separated from the papal states by Pope Paul III in favour of his... son ! Today, the soft light city retains the charm that Stendhal depicted so well in The Charterhouse of Parma.
