A journey through urban spaces rich in art that over time have been spectators and celebrators of tragic and mysterious events between history and legend. We will walk through Piazza Garibaldi, Palazzo Fainardi, Piazzale della Pilotta, Piazza Ghiaia, and the villages of Oltretorrente, discovering the macabre, mysterious, and frightening events that have taken place in these places. This is not your usual guided visit to Parma, but an exciting and thrilling tour, the result of extensive research into the crime stories of the past, where it was not easy to untangle superstition and witchcraft. You won't be able to wait to tell everyone about it!
Places we will visit: the “palace of torment,” the “theatres of blood,” the stage of Barbara Sanseverino's beheading, what remains of the church of the Inquisition, the square of the burnings, the witch Alina and other heretics, the terrorist hideout, Parmigianino the alchemist, and much more.
The tour will take place exclusively outdoors.
