Parma 2021

We stopped into Parma to visit Torrechiara again. We ate an excellent lunch at Rosa Croce then visited a few places in Parma. First we stopped by the Palazzo dell Pilotta, a massive Ducal Palace complex initiated by the Farnese family that was never completed. It houses, among other things, an art gallery and the Teatro Farnese, one of a few Renaissance theaters still in existence.

We also stopped by the Parma Baptistery and took a look inside.

You really can tell when artwork is pre Renaissance.

But you have to love the lions.
