Attico in Canossa

The cluster is in the Parma Apennine foothills, with wooded ridges, pasture and cultivated valley slopes typical of the lower northern Apennines. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Secchia valley is not far to the east. This part of the province sits below the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine crest and the Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano begins farther south, outside the immediate surroundings. The nearest substantial town is Parma, which provides the main services, rail connections and monuments. The area is known for hill farming and for the food landscape tied to the Parma province, including Parmigiano Reggiano production in the Apennine and foothill zone.
