Why Parma?

The city’s strategic location between Milan and Bologna makes Parma an excellent solution for anyone wishing to hold an event more unusual and engaging than the norm.

Parma, UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy and Capital of Culture 2020+21 boasts impeccable, luxurious, but also intimate and elegant hotels, with a total of 1,800 rooms.

It is the perfect hub for successful corporate events, meetings and conferences in illustrious locations, such as the Farnese Theatre and monumental Palazzo della Pilotta complex, the Palatina Library, the Voltoni del Guazzatoio and other evocative spaces steeped in history. Perhaps the splendid Teatro Regio opera house, with 1150 seats, or its Sala del Ridotto, the foyer, with 180 seats.

There is Renzo Piano’s more modern Auditorium Paganini and Spazi Ipogei, with 780 and 340 seats respectively; or APE Museo’s elegant rooms full of artworks. Pala Verdi is suitable for major events and conferences, with 3,500 seats. Beyond the city, is the charming Labirinto della Masone, a maze created by the eclectic publisher Franco Maria Ricci, with a maximum capacity of 420 and spacious outdoor courtyards. And in the hills lies Castello di Felino: perfect for exclusive events of up to 350 people.
