Salsomaggiore Golf & Thermae
Brings together two classic pleasures of Emilia-Romagna
Salsomaggiore Golf & Thermae brings together two classic pleasures of Emilia-Romagna: open-air sport and a culture of wellbeing. The course sits gracefully within a softly rolling landscape of woods, clearings and gentle light, creating the kind of environment that encourages an unhurried pace from arrival to final putt. It does not chase spectacle for its own sake; its strength lies in measured elegance, harmony and overall comfort. Golfers who appreciate clubs where the day can flow naturally from the fairways to lunch, then onward to thermal relaxation or a quiet dinner, will find a particularly satisfying balance here. The course asks for strategy without becoming oppressive and suits both mid-handicap players and experienced travelers seeking a polished but relaxed round. This is best understood as a quality pause within a broader lifestyle journey, one where golf, food, thermal culture and understated luxury belong to the same coherent experience rather than competing for attention.

Teatro Regio di Parma: il Palcoscenico dei Re
The Teatro Regio di Parma is one of the world's most important opera theatres — the Parma audience is considered the most demanding and merciless for singing in Europe. Through the Theatre's Public Relations Office it is possible to access the empty stage on rehearsal mornings to listen to the conductor working with soloists — a privilege no box office ticket can buy.
“Bass Ferruccio Furlanetto holds private bel canto masterclasses at the Regio three times a year: he admits 6 non-singer listeners to understand the physical technique of operatic singing. It is the most intense acoustic experience available in Italy outside a concert.”
Cantina Farnese: Fortana del Taro Dimenticata
Fortana del Taro is a nearly extinct grape of the Taro Valley in the heart of the Parma area: lively, slightly sparkling, with strawberry and pepper notes recalling Lambrusco before industrialisation. The cooperative winery of Fornovo del Taro maintains 2 hectares of old Fortana vines yielding 800 bottles per year sold only at the winery.
“Cellar master Mario Cremonesi keeps 1992 Fortana bottles he has held for himself without ever selling: he says the grape at 30 years develops white truffle and dried rose notes that no oenology manual has ever described. He opens them only for guests who come specifically for the Fortana.”
Terme Berzieri: il Tempio Liberty dell'Acqua
The Terme Berzieri of Salsomaggiore are Italy's most extraordinary Art Nouveau thermal building: built in 1923 to a design by Ugo Giusti with Richard Ginori majolica, Venetian glass mosaics, and wrought iron, they are one of Italy's most intact Liberty monuments. The bromine-iodine waters treat arthritis with efficacy documented by a century of medical records.
“The Terme's historical archive manager keeps medical records of celebrated patients — from Verdi who came annually to Toscanini's physiotherapist. He accepts private visits on Wednesday mornings showing the archive from 1839.”
