Viale Marconi 50 salsomaggiore

The cluster is in the first hills between the Po plain and the Ligurian-Emilian Apennines, in a landscape of cultivated ridges, small woods and stream valleys. The Stirone valley is nearby, and the Parco Regionale dello Stirone e del Piacenziano lies in the area around Salsomaggiore and Fidenza. The nearest larger town is Parma, which provides the main rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. Salsomaggiore itself is known for its thermal baths, and the surrounding part of the province is also known for food production linked to Parmigiano Reggiano and cured meats.
