ALMOST LOCAL - Piacenza Downtown Foodie Tour

Enjoy a city tour off-the-beaten paths in this very surprising town overlooking the Po river between the hard-working Milan and the pleasure-seeking Parma. The original capital of the Farnese duchy in the 1500s and the very first province annexed to the new-born Italian nation in 1848, Piacenza is surprisingly full of precious art collections, secret palace gardens and the unique flavors of Emilia Romagna!
