An itinerary that tells the story of the moment when the city opened up to Art Nouveau influences, adopting new decorative forms and a modern, refined architectural language.
The route winds through some of the city's most significant Art Nouveau landmarks, including the striking Palazzo Giordani, the elegant Villa Cornelli, and the refined Villino Bonazzi, before reaching the Lungoparma, from where visitors can admire the picturesque Villa Barilli.
The visit will culminate with entry to the historic Poste Regie (Royal Post Office), inside the Palazzo di Riserva, which preserves precious original features: artistic stained-glass windows, wrought ironwork, and refined ornamental motifs inspired by nature.
An opportunity to immerse yourself in the elegant atmosphere of Parma between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, through the residences of the emerging bourgeoisie and the buildings symbolizing a season of great artistic renewal.
