A route through art-filled urban spaces that, over time, have witnessed and celebrated 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 villages of the Oltretorrente, discovering the macabre, mysterious, and frightening events that have taken place in these locations. Not the usual guided visit to Parma, but a thrilling and exciting tour, the result of a very long research into the crime stories of the past, where it was not easy to disentangle oneself from 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 stage of the beheading of Barbara Sanseverino, what remains of the church of the Inquisition, the square of the stakes, the witch Alina and other heretics, the terrorist hideout, Parmigianino the alchemist, and much more.
The tour will take place exclusively outdoors.
