Parma is a city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna famous for its prosciutto (ham), cheese, architecture, music and surrounding countryside. It is home to the University of Parma, one of the oldest universities in the world. Parma is divided into two parts by the stream of the same name. The district on the far side of the river is Oltretorrente. Parma's Etruscan name was adapted by Romans to describe the round shield called Parma. Its geographical position, history and gastronomic tradition render the Province of Parma one of Italy's most emblematic provinces. Located in northern Italy, this Province extends from the Po River in the north (representing Emilia Romagna's boundary with Lombardy), down to the Apennines crest separating it from Tuscany. It is mainly made up of plains, and with its Bassa Parmense (lower province) following the course of the Po. The terrain is nothing if not evocative and suggestive, it inspires with its villages, castles and ancient churches... even when shrouded in fog. The country is dotted with several lakes, including Lake Santo Parmense, the largest natural lake in the Romagna Region. The Parma Apennines offer visitors pristine nature framed within a magical landscape; an ideal path network was created exactly for its discovery. Parma is synonymous with nature, history and art. Indeed, names such as Antelami, Correggio, Parmigianino, Verdi and Toscanini made their mark in a city in this sophisticated and graceful jewel of a city. www.italia.it/en/discover-italy/emilia-romagna/parma.html
