Thanks to an agreement between the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta and the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Municipality of Parma, the itinerary of the Correggio500 exhibition, which will continue until June, 2nd 2025, is enriched with new initiatives and benefits.
The 500 steps in the heart of Parma among the masterpieces by Antonio Allegri will therefore reach the rooms of the Rocchetta with the institution of a special ticket which will offer you the occasion to visit the Correggio itinerary inside the National Gallery of the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta and a calendar of guided tours, to be announced soon, that will take place on Wednesdays at 5 p.m.
The concessions also aim at implementing a virtuous circuit between the museum itineraries of the two institutions: visitors to the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta, in possession of a regular ticket, will be able to purchase a ticket to the Correggio500 exhibition at a concessionary rate and, mutually, visitors to the Correggio500 exhibition, in possession of a regular ticket, will be able to access both the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta and the Ancient Apothecary of Saint John the Evangelist at Antica Spezieria di San Giovanni Evangelista at a reduced fares.
The agreement between the two main cultural institutions of the City, signed by Stefano L’Occaso, Director of the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta and Lorenzo Lavagetto, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture and Tourism, also set the shared implementation of cultural projects over the next three years, in order to offer the citizens of Parma, and not only them, new opportunities in the field of music, live performances, and cultural initiatives in general.
‘This is a continuation of a happy way of contamination and exchange that we have already undertaken on several recent occasions by proposing some of the Department’s initiatives in the extraordinary spaces of the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta’ Lorenzo Lavagetto comments. “Parma is a city that has a special relationship with music and has maintained a genuine cultural curiosity over time: our ambition is to satisfy it and to unleash beautiful opportunities in our places of wonder. This is perhaps an effective way to get to know Parma and to make its citizens experience it at its best.”
‘The Monumental Complex of the Pilotta represents an Italian excellence and deserves to be increasingly broadened in its usability; the agreement with the Municipality promotes this path and allows for a panoramic, general view of the city’s cultural life,’ says Stefano L’Occaso, “It is now time to enhance the Correggio itinerary proposed until June. In the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta, there is the largest number of the Correggio’s movable works that during the months of the extension of Correggio500 can be visited with a wide range of facilities’.
