Territory and Nature
The territory of Parma has always played a fundamental, strategic, and cultural role throughout the centuries: a land that unites the Po Valley in the north with the sea, it is home to important artisanal, manufacturing, and agricultural companies that have made it famous all over the world. Nature and sports enthusiasts exploring the areas surrounding Fontanellato can immerse themselves in a natural and evocative environment; indeed, a policy of protecting and enhancing nature characterizes the entire province, not to mention the wide range of spa facilities made possible by the abundant water resources of the area, exploited since ancient times for their mineral richness. Water is also the element that has always deeply marked Fontanellato itself, rich in canals and springs.
Oasis of the Priory: Pozzi Park
A few kilometers from the center of Fontanellato, a renaturalized area has been created on a surface of 12 hectares with the aim of reconstructing the vanished forest of the Po Valley plain. Inside, you can find walking paths and ponds, and admire the interesting variety of local fauna as well as the flora, made up of native plants.
