A route through urban spaces rich in art that, over time, have been witnesses to and settings for tragic and mysterious events at the crossroads of history and legend. We will walk through Piazza Garibaldi, Palazzo Fainardi, Piazzale della Pilotta, Piazza Ghiaia, and the areas of Oltretorrente, discovering the macabre, mysterious, and frightening events that have taken place in these locations. Not the usual guided visit to Parma, but a captivating and thrilling tour, the result of extensive research into the dark annals of the past, where it was not easy to navigate among superstitions and witchcraft. You'll be eager to tell everyone about it!
Places we will visit: the “Palace of Torment,” the “Theatres of Blood,” the site of Barbara Sanseverino's beheading, what remains of the Inquisition Church, the Square of the Bonfires, the witch Alina and other heretics, the terrorist hideout, Parmigianino the Alchemist, and much more.
