Yesterday, I went to Parma and saw some wonderful churches. Parma is a city very like Ferrara, with the small town feeling and quiet city life. It has a lot of history with Napoleon Bonaparte and I saw the theatre his second wife built, as well as the palace he lived in while he lived Parma.
Food in Parma is supposed to be the best in Italy and I can now vouch for it. Our lunch was bruschette con cruddo e crotto (cooked and smoked, thinly sliced ham) and spinach ravioli with parmasean cheese...sooo good!
After lunch, our group went to the Ferrari museum, which is about an hour away from Ferrara. I saw all of their Formula 1 cars as well as their road cars. We weren't allowed to touch the cars, but I'll admit it...I touched two and it was everything I thought it could be.
The pics are of the baptismal church in Parma and the Ferrari museum. The ceiling of the church is made of red and white marble, which symbolizes the blood of Christ and the purity of our souls after we accept Christ.
The Ferrari is a 1960s cruiser.
