    • Favorite Thing: If you arrive by train, just outside the station you will find a large leafy square, with a pond and a monument in the middle.
    The man celebrated by this monument is Vittorio Bottego, one of those explorers who in the XIX century wanted to eliminate all the blank areas from the maps of Africa and went exploring those regions that were still unknown to the white man.
    The other two human figures in this monument represent two rivers Bottego explored: the Omo and the Juba.

     Superb Parma travel page with wonderful and lovely photographs. The Baptistery, the Duomo, San Giovanni and the palace certainly look interesting to visit and explore. We hope to visit Parma one day. ~ho & pang    		RoscoeGregg Thu Oct 15, 2009 01:21 UTC

     Ciao Anna, The Battistero photos are magnificent. The artwork, in my opinion rivals the Sistine Chapel. Parma's restaurants per your tips, Mama mia!. meraviglioso, Grazie, Larry
