An unconventional walking tour of the UNESCO Italian Creative city of gastronomy, a perfect match of art and taste.

Parma ham, Anolini and Parmigiano will delight your palate, while the gorgeous frescoes by Correggio and Parmigianino will feed your soul.
All mixed up in a unique, immersive experience.
