In the ancient Benedictine "grancia" (farmstead), the centuries-old agricultural vocation lives on with two exhibition paths dedicated to food. The Pasta Museum tells the story of wheat, its cultivation and processing, with an entire 19th-century pasta factory. The main dish of Italian cuisine can be enjoyed at the Corte restaurant.

The agricultural courtyard of medieval origin hosts two exhibition routes dedicated to food. The Tomato Museum tells the story of this fruit from the Americas and its extraordinary spread in the Parma area, which is still a leader in its processing today.

La Rocca Sanvitale di Sala Baganza is a fascinating fortress of medieval origin located in Sala Baganza, in the province of Parma. Born around the year 1100 as a defensive structure, it lost its military function over time to transform into a sumptuous noble residence and hunting lodge, hosting three great dynasties over the centuries: the Sanvitale, the Farnese, and the Bourbon. Although three of its original sides were demolished in the Napoleonic era, the building today preserves splendid Renaissance frescoes from the 16th century and is surrounded by the majestic Farnesian Garden.

To arrive comfortably, it is strictly necessary to pass through Sala Baganza, even though the GPS generally suggests lower roads that are much less convenient. The free parking (nice and large) is accessed from a dirt road which, coming from Sala Baganza, is located just beyond the lake of Ponte Verde, on the left. After leaving the car, in 2 minutes on foot you will reach the edge of the woods, in another 2 minutes you will find the entrance (very visible) marked by a sign.
