An open-air museum

Lugagnano Val D'Arda is a small village dominated by the white of Mount Giogo and its Calanchi. There are numerous historical and anthropic attractions of the Apennine area. In the hamlet of Veleia we find farmhouses surrounded by greenery that rest their foundations on the ruins of the Roman city of the same name. Located on the hills of Val Chero, this settlement was transformed by the Romans into a thriving town hall. In 1747 the Tabula Alimentaria Traianea was found, the largest Latin inscription on bronze in the Roman world, this discovery aroused the great interest of the Duke of Parma and Piacenza Filippo di Borbone, who in 1760 began the excavations and later founded the Museum of 'Antiquity in Parma. Here once there were all comforts, despite being a small town, there were inns and a market area in the forum with arcades and a covered area in the basilica, but all traces of all this have been lost. There remains the church dedicated to Sant'Antonino, much remodeled, which houses a wooden cibarium from the seventeenth century. Traces of the ancient history of the planet are preserved in the woods of the area. There are several geo-paleontological stations where you can admire fossils of all kinds, the park is a real open-air museum, which can be admired simply by walking on the paths. The treasures hidden among these hills attract the attention of an ever wider audience.
