The Teatro Farnese was built for a wedding five centuries ago in Parma's Palazzo della Pilota. It suffered damage in World War Two but has been lovingly restored. Made almost entirely of wood, it was successfully adapted in 2016 for a presentation of Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco (Joan of Arc) as part of the annual Verdi Opera Festival. But this places is worth a visit at any time of the year.
