Good evening Friends and Users of Steemit!
Continue my column "Places of Italy", second episode, this time we arrive in the beautiful city of Parma! The city is the provincial capital and is located in the beautiful region of Italy in Emilia Romagna. We visited this town in half a day, it is not a metropolis, so we have (along with my girlfriend) been able to walk in its historic center, savoring its beauty.
Fortunately there was a wonderful summer day with a beautiful sun that accompanied us throughout the visit. Coming from the station, continuing on the main avenue whose name I don't remember, we immediately found ourselves in Piazza della Pace.
The square is huge and asymmetrical as it has a large garden on the front side (which they were renovating during our visit) with a majestic complex called Palazzo della Pilotta behind it. Inside the Palace there are some museums that we have not visited, but we had the pleasure of admiring the monument to the partisan inside the garden.

Buonasera Amici ed Utenti di Steemit!
Continua la mia rubrica "Luoghi d'Italia", secondo episodio, questa volta approdiamo nella bellissima città di Parma! La città è capoluogo di provincia e si trova nella splendida regione d'Italia dell'Emilia Romagna. Abbiamo visitato questa cittadina in mezza giornata, non è una metropoli, pertanto abbiamo (insieme alla mia ragazza) potuto passeggiare nel suo centro storico, assaporando le sue bellezze.
Fortunatamente c'era una splendida giornata estiva con un bel sole che ci ha accompagnato per tutta la durata della visita. Venendo dalla stazione, proseguendo sul vialone principale del quale non ricordo il nome, ci siamo subito ritrovati in Piazza della Pace.
La piazza è enorme e asimmetrica in quanto presenta sul lato frontale un grande giardino (che durante la nostra visita stavano ristrutturando) con alle spalle un maestoso complesso denominato Palazzo della Pilotta. All'interno del Palazzo sono presenti dei musei che non abbiamo visitato, ma abbiamo avuto il piacere di ammirare il monumento al partigiano posto all'interno del giardino.

The museum's headquarters is beautiful, the inner courtyard was surrounded by arches and arcades, which I think are beautiful. Continuing our walk we could see that the city is very lively, flat with public transport, and I have to say very clean and cared for.
On our left, to our great surprise, we came across the "Basilica of Santa Maria della Steccata", a wonderful, architecturally rich religious building. From the shapes of the buildings and the very warm colors, we can guess that we have entered the historic center. The thing that I noticed is that very often, under the buildings, there are arcades with every kind of commercial activity inside.

Bellissima la struttura sede dei musei, il cortile interno era circondato da archi e porticati, secondo me stupendi. Proseguendo la nostra passeggiata abbiamo potuto notare che la città è molto viva, piana di mezzi pubblici, e devo dire molto pulita e curata.
Sulla nostra sinistra, con nostra grande sorpresa abbiamo incrociato la "Basilica di Santa Maria della Steccata", un meraviglioso edificio religioso, architettonicamente molto ricco. Dalle forme dei palazzi e dai colori molto caldi, possiamo intuire che siamo entrati nel centro storico. La cosa che ho notato è che molto spesso, sotto i palazzi, sono presenti i porticati con all'interno ogni genere di esercizio commerciale.

We arrived in the historic center, passing by a small side street, we enter "Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi". A very large square named after the famous Italian hero who was the protagonist during the birth of the Kingdom of Italy. In addition to the square, a statue was also dedicated to him, built at the end of the 1800s. Behind the statue, the so-called "Governor's Palace" rises, home to numerous events and exhibitions. Little curiosity, on the main tower of the Palace there is a sundial that indicates exactly the time simply using the shadows formed by the sun. Obviously we couldn't read the time, but we took some souvenir photos.

Siamo giunti nel centro storico, passando da una piccola stradina laterale, accediamo a "Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi". Una piazza molto ampia che prende il nome dal famoso eroe italiano protagonista durante la nascita del Regno D'Italia. Oltre alla piazza gli è stata dedicata anche una statua, costruita alla fine dell'800. Alle spalle della statua, sorge imponente il cosiddetto "Palazzo del Governatore", sede di numerosi eventi e mostre. Piccola curiosità, sulla torre principale del Palazzo è presente un orologio solare che indica esattamente l'orario semplicemente utilizzando le ombre formate dal sole. Ovviamente non siamo riusciti a leggere l'ora, ma abbiamo scattato qualche foto ricordo.

The heat begins to be felt as well as fatigue and hunger! It is almost time for lunch, so we decide to stop at one of the countless restaurants that serve typical regional dishes and meats. We have lunch quietly and take a well-deserved break, thus ending the first part of the story of my visit to the beautiful city of Parma! Keep following me to read the second post on Parma!
Greetings to you all, I wish you a good evening!

Il caldo inizia a farsi sentire così come la stanchezza e la fame! E' quasi ora di pranzo, pertanto decidiamo di fermarci presso uno degli innumerevoli ristoranti che servono piatti e salumi tipici della regione. Pranziamo tranquillamente e ci prendiamo una meritata pausa, termina così la prima parte del racconto della mia visita nella bellissima città di Parma! Continuate a seguirmi per leggere il secondo post su Parma!
Un saluto a tutti voi, vi auguro una buona serata!

Hello @wakeupkitty!
There were few people as it was a midweek day and it was about 12 in the morning, so many are at lunch at that time!
I thank you for the comment, a greeting!
