Food museums

An experience for all senses and tastes

The Food Museums turn 20.

In 20 years, as many as 306,317 visitors have flocked to the Food Museums to learn about the history, culture and traditions behind the products that have made Parma and its territory famous and contributed to the creation of the 'Food valley', now known throughout the world. It is no coincidence, in fact, that Parma has been awarded the title of "Creative City for Gastronomy" by Unesco.

The eight museums exhibit a total of 4,215 objects, each of which has a story just waiting to be heard. One of this year's great novelties, and closing the circuit, will be the opening of the Fragno Truffle Museum in the evocative underground rooms of the Calestano Town Hall in the autumn.

Archeology in Emilia

Unexpected treasures, ancient cities to rediscover, new revelations to explore

From the ancient Roman city of Veleia to the famous Etruscan liver, from the protohistoric remains of the Terra Maricola civilisation to the necropolis and precious Roman and Carolingian funerary monuments. 
It is a lesser-known archaeological Emilia, but one that is rich in fascination and extraordinary museums and finds that allow visitors to reconstruct the history of the territory encompassing the provinces of Parma, Piacenza and Reggio Emilia, and of much of humanity. A history that projects visitors into the Roman, Etruscan and ancient worlds that have left their traces in Emilia since prehistoric times.
