This guide comes from years spent working in Parma, talking with producers and kitchens that still do things the hard way.

It’s a long-form guide to Parma food, focused on what to eat, why these dishes matter, and where they still make sense today.

Some huge stones just landed in Piazza Maggiore 👽

I visited Graphic Japan when the rooms were still empty.

It’s not a “wow” show.
It’s a show that asks you to slow down.

Essential marks, measured colours,
empty space that matters as much as the full one.

I found it elegant.
And rare, these days.

Rimini divides people:
the ones who think they know it,
and the ones who’ve actually been.

Behind the umbrellas and the summer clichés, there’s a city of contrasts — Roman stones, pastel houses, Fellini’s ghosts, winter light, real food, real warmth.

Tondelli was right: “There’s a Rimini that escapes the postcards.”
And most visitors never see it.

If you want to:
• walk where history and sea breathe together
• taste piadina and cassoni the way they’re meant to be
• feel the quiet magic of Borgo San Giuliano
• understand why Fellini kept coming back
…start with the real guide.

At first pass, Modena is gracious—piazzas, porticoes, a cathedral that plays with light.

Stay, and it gets peculiar in the best way: modernist geometry in a cemetery, a gallery that feels like a secret, a vinegar that tastes like memory.

The guide is your breadcrumb trail to 11 places where Modena looks back at you.

Pack curiosity.
Bring appetite.
Leave room for surprise.
