EMILIA 2020

with Parma, The Italian Capital City of Culture Culture beats Time

In Emilia land, the cities of Parma, Piacenzaand Reggio relate to different kinds of “time”:

the right time for wine production and gastronomy; the time for human manufacturing and

its wellness; the time for study, for intellect, for imagination, for creativity.

During 2020, going through our land, you will be able to experience our special time, the time that we decided to dedicate to each single guest by an

articulate program of events, which will promote thestrong link between land, sky and memory:

the land which always provides enjoyable products;the sky which guarantees that the land and the mindare fertile; and, last but not least, the memory which

weaved the threads of human actions,so that the historical past and traditions can be

an environment for a new future createdtogether, with love and determination.

During 2020, there will be at least 20 reasons to visit andlove Emilia land, 19 + 1... because by visiting it, you will

become part of it and will contribute with yourpersonal motivation, taking it easy,... to beat time.
