  • 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.

     Grazie per l'incoraggiamento e per i voti :)... Hai davvero una bellissima pagina su Parma e mi hai fatto venir voglia di tornarci... Comunque spero tu possa visitare la Sardegna prima della pensione, ne vale la pena ;D!!!
