Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Cathedrale de Parme
The cathedral of Parma is read in depth, between dominant architectural line and very detailed interior materials. Starting with the façade then entering allows you to grasp the sensation slip, from the public space to the interior dimension. A powerful passage for architectural enthusiasts who seek to feel historical continuity.
Place
Cathedrale de Modene
The Cathedral of Modena deserves a visit where the light remains the main tool: one reads the height and then the details as it progresses. The external approach gives the visual base, then the interiors add a more intimate reading of the volumes. Perfect for a precise architectural break.
Heritage
Musee Ferrari
The Ferrari Museum gives movement to the visit with its exposed routes and modernised industrial architectures. The best rendering comes from a clear choice of rooms, which allows to follow the narrative lines without saturation. A wise choice for a mecano-historic stay oriented sensitive experience.
Place
Vignola
Vignola It is lit by contrasts of stones, streets and small perspectives that give relief to the time of the journey. The exploration gains to be local: one goes towards the pedestrian axes and then one goes back to the stops that tell the place. A medium-term discovery, rich in texture.
