Parma is a rich city. Not as much as before the 2008 economical crisis, but still better off than the rest of the country. It’s located in the region of Emilia-Romagna and known as the gastronomic capital of Italy. We have heard “of Europe” as well, but for the sake of this argument, let’s keep in Italy. Read More...
