Monolocale in vendita a Collecchio, Via Oreste Grassi

The low northern foothills of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines begin within about 15 km to the south. The Taro river flows close to Collecchio and the Parma river runs through nearby Parma. The Parco Regionale dei Boschi di Carrega, a regional wooded park and former ducal hunting estate, lies within a few kilometres. There are no ski lifts within the 15 km radius; the nearest Apennine ski areas (for example Abetone or Monte Cimone) are roughly 1.5–2 hours by car. Parma is the nearest city (about 15 km away) and offers a main railway station, a university, a large hospital, the Teatro Regio and a small commercial airport (Aeroporto di Parma). Parma is designated as a UNESCO Creative City for gastronomy. The area and province are known for production of Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma, for food-industry clusters around Parma and for lowland agriculture on the Po plain; the Castello di Torrechiara is a named historic castle within about 15 km to the south.
