The Bassa Parmense is a fat, flat land of small towns and farming traditions.
Here, among old farmhouses and embankments, there are twelve towns, eight to the west and four to the east, making up a small but fascinating world.
Guareschi immortalized it in his books, Cesare Zavattini recounted it in his film sequences it has been photographed and painted.
It is the place of great fables and the flavors of amarcord, to be traveled on the road, slowly, letting yourself be enveloped by that icy vapor that conditions moods and flavors.

The triangle of conviviality

Conviviality and genuineness, these are watchwords of zero-mile food, values that have always, and fortunately, been nurtured and cherished in Italy.
Famous for its produce, cheerful wines and large tables, Parma and its province are a temple and laboratory of authentic cuisine.
Epicenter of production is the “pink” triangle of the Bassa Parmense that stretches between Zibello, Polesine and Roccabianca.
Right here, where fog and humid air are artfully dosed as if they were ingredients, Culatello di Zibello Dop, a product of haute salumeria, is born.
Massimo Spigaroli ‘s are famous, maturing in cellars built by the Pallavicino marquises in 1320.
His restaurant, theAntica Corte Pallavicina(anticacortepallavicinarelais.it), is a temple of fine gastrofluvial cuisine.
Also part of the Antichi produttori Terre di Nebbia company is the Bré del Gallo farm(bredelgallo.it): excellent culatelli rests in the centuries-old cellars until tasted.
The farm is Slow Food certified.
