“Small and simple but wonderful”

Jun 2018

Il Battistero is adjacent to the Duomo. This is NOT the Battestero of Parma. This one is small and simple .. but also wonderful. A few years ago I attended an organ & chorale performance that was magnificent. The organ is ancient and had recently been restored. This June they hosted a Fotografia Europea exhibit that was creatively displayed and easy to tour in the space. I look forward to my next visit. Always something different - and wonderful.

A Small Jewel in Piazza Prompelini

Jul 2016 • Solo

Il Battistero is small as compared to the one in Parma. A short walk from B&B Anna e Ricca. I had the pleasure of attending a choir performance featuring the ancient organ housed in the Battestero. In a word: magical. The acoustics were perfect and the organist was magnificent. If you are in the area, check the schedule of events. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Old church

Aug 2015 • Couples

This is a 11.th century church, which was rebuilt several times, even the facade is not the original anymore. It is on the main square - Piazza Prampolini.
