Parma, Italy

Photography Tour in Parma

The best photos of Parma aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Parma is an elegant Emilian city of Romanesque churches, Correggio frescoes, and the world's finest food — Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and Barilla pasta all originate here.

Top Photography Tour Spots

•Parma Cathedral and Correggio frescoes — a Romanesque cathedral with Correggio's breathtaking Assumption of the Virgin fresco spiraling across the dome, creating a vertiginous illusionistic effect
•Baptistery — an octagonal pink-marble baptistery from 1196 by Benedetto Antelami, with sculpted portals and a stunning interior of frescoed biblical scenes rising to the dome
•Palazzo della Pilotta and Galleria Nazionale — a massive unfinished Farnese palace housing the national gallery with works by Correggio, Parmigianino, and Leonardo, plus the Teatro Farnese wooden theater

Hidden Photography Tour Gems

•Camera di San Paolo — a small room in a former convent with a remarkable ceiling frescoed by Correggio, often missed by visitors who focus on the cathedral
