The Felino Salami Museum bears witness to the privileged relationship established over time between the unique product we know and its land of origin. Felino thus pays homage to its most beloved โsonโ, whose history has found a home in the evocative rooms of an ancient rustic court from the 14th century in the center of Felino. The Museum represents an opportunity to make known and appreciate not simply the essence of what has been defined as the prince of salamis, but the territory and the community of which it is an expression, starting from the quality of the raw materials to the wisdom of the hands that continue to work it.

La Rocca Sanvitale di Sala Baganza is a fascinating fortress of medieval origin located in Sala Baganza, in the province of Parma. Born around the year 1100 as a defensive structure, it lost its military function over time to transform into a sumptuous noble residence and hunting lodge, hosting three great dynasties over the centuries: the Sanvitale, the Farnese, and the Bourbon. Although three of its original sides were demolished in the Napoleonic era, the building today preserves splendid Renaissance frescoes from the 16th century and is surrounded by the majestic Farnesian Garden.
