Τα 8 καλύτερα φυσικά μνημεία Torrile

Η Fontana delle Tre Religioni στην Πάρμα είναι έργο του γλύπτη Pietro Cascella. Αναπαριστά την ένωση των τριών συμβόλων των μονοθεϊστικών θρησκειών: ο σταυρός (Χριστιανισμός), το άστρο του Δαβίδ (Ιουδαϊσμός) και η ημισέληνος (Ισλάμ)

great bike ride if you opt for a flat route

“The Fountain of the Three Religions – explained the First Citizen, Federico Pizzarotti – was recovered by the Municipality, after a long period in which it remained dismantled in the warehouses of the Municipality itself, to be placed, not by chance, in this place where it conveys a message of civilization and brotherhood, in a time in which religions are often used in an instrumental way. It is a symbol of community and inclusion”. The widow of the sculptor Pitro Cascella, the sculptor Cordelia von de Steinen, focused on the meaning of the work. “My husband had conceived the idea of a sculpture dedicated to the Three Religions since the 1990s. Today, more than then, this fountain is current, for the meanings it implies: the basin represents the Mediterranean Sea into which the jets of water from the symbols of the Three Religions pour, each of which has contributed and contributes to its life”. The fountain represents the symbols of the three monotheistic religions: Christianity, represented by a cross; Judaism, represented by the Star of David; the crescent moon representing the Islamic world and Muslims. The choice to place the fountain near the Duc stems from the fact that it is a very popular space in today's increasingly cosmopolitan world. Situated, therefore, in a sort of pedestrian crossroads, it is an expression of the different cultural and religious realities of the world: a symbol, therefore, of social cohesion and intercultural dialogue. The fountain was included in the plan for the redevelopment, recovery and re-functionalization of the spaces outside Duc A and Duc B, which form a green strip between Viale Mentana and the two buildings that house the citizen counters, various offices, and public utility services. This closes the story linked to the fountain, which was commissioned in 2008 by the then Municipal Administration. Initially it should have been placed where the fountain is today, also by Cascella, located in the center of the roundabout of Strada Elevata (intersection of Via Zarotto, Mantova, Via Emilia). This was not the case, as a new one was commissioned, again by Pietro Cascella. The new fountain, at the intersection of Strada Elevata, was inaugurated, shortly after the artist's death, in October 2008. Subsequently, between 2008 and 2009 the idea was to mount the fountain of the Three Religions in the area where the EFSA is located, but the idea was then abandoned. The fountain of the Three Religions was preserved for years, dismantled, in the warehouses of the Municipality in Via Spezia. Hence the intention of the current Administration to recover it, enhancing it and inserting it into a new urban context.

the Natural Oasis of Parma Morta which takes its name from the now disappeared waters of the stream that flowed into the Enza. The Natural Oasis was established as a nature reserve in 1990 and represents a refuge for numerous animal species that cannot inhabit the surrounding cultivated land.

Beautiful to look at but difficult to reach. The green gradually overgrows the entire work of art. Pruning would be desirable.

Old trees in the park provide protection in all weather conditions. The ages of the trees inspire confidence. Sit down and enjoy beautiful crowns.

The Fontanili present near Viarolo are among the last examples of springs in the upper Parma plain. Dense patches of vegetation, with some notable examples of Farnia, Black Alder and Poplar, surround the points from which the clear and fresh waters flow, which a little further flow into the Lorno. The banks are covered with patches of Common Reed, Salcerella and Veronica beccabunga, while in the water, together with Common Brasca and Duckweed, uncommon herbs survive, such as Vallisneria spiralis, Samulus Valerandi, Ricci fluitans and dense Greenland. The faunal records include singular species, such as the Panzarolo or Ghiozzetto dei fontanili, a tiny fish that has become very rare, and several dragonflies.
