Visiting Arturo Toscanini’s Birthplace
First, your musical odyssey begins when you meet your private local guide. Together, you will visit the historic “Oltretorrente” district in Parma, which provides an intimate glimpse into the maestro’s origins. Afterwards, you can wander through the enchanting Parco Ducale, a verdant oasis of centuries-old trees and elegant statues that breathes the history of Parmesan aristocracy.

Here, you will enjoy an extraordinary backstage tour, a truly special experience for any music lover.
