San Secondo Parmense is located in the heart of the "Bassa," the region of the Po Valley that stretches between Parma and the Po River, renowned for its tranquil landscapes, rows of poplar trees, and the light fog that envelops the country roads. This area is deeply connected to history, agricultural culture, and culinary excellence, and is regarded as a key part of Emilia's Food Valley.
San Secondo is famous for the Rocca dei Rossi, a grand 15th-century residence adorned with frescoes by Renaissance artists, which reflects the former glory of one of the most prominent families of the Duchy. The town also hosts the Palio delle Contrade each year, featuring historical parades and equestrian competitions that engage the entire community and attract visitors from across Italy.
Just a few kilometers away, there are other architectural gems within the Ducato di Parma e Piacenza castle circuit, such as Fontanellato, Soragna, Roccabianca, and Colorno, all easily accessible and perfect for day trips.
The region is also a paradise for food lovers, as it is home to some of the most beloved and iconic products of Italian cuisine. Among these, the culatello di Zibello is aged in the area's natural cellars thanks to the unique microclimate of the plain, and the spalla cotta di San Secondo is best enjoyed warm, paired with a glass of Fortanina. Other specialties include Felino salami, Parma ham, and of course, Parmigiano Reggiano, which can be purchased directly from the many local dairies.
Being only 20 km from Parma offers the chance to immerse oneself in the city's cultural life, visit theaters, museums, and historic monuments, or participate in events and fairs, thanks to its convenient location near the exhibition center.
San Secondo Parmense is an authentic destination where the slow pace of rural life intertwines with the wonders of art, history, and gastronomy, providing a rich and profound experience for those who choose to stay.
