Overview of Parma, Italy
Information by Rough Guides
Generally reckoned to have one of the highest standards of living in Italy, PARMA, about 30km along the Via Emilia northwest of Reggio, is about as comfortable a town as you could wish for. The measured pace of its streets, the abundance of its restaurants and the general air of affluence are almost cloying, especially if you've arrived from the south.
