Crónicas de Parma
Parma was founded by the Romans in 183 BC as a colony on the Via Aemilia. Its medieval and Renaissance core spirals around the Romanesque cathedral and Correggio's dome fresco. Under the Farnese dukes (16th-18th centuries) the city became a small but cultured capital, later part of the Duchy of Parma. Today it's a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, famous for Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto, and draws visitors for its opera house, Teatro Regio, and the 12th-century Baptistery.
