There are many streets in the center of Parma called boroughs because, back in the day, these streets possessed a definite identity and special characteristics that made them synonymous with aggregation for small communities.

The proper names of the villages come from the popular imagination: some were named after Saints, after Churches, after Taverns…

Strolling through the boroughs at Christmas is truly characteristic: you can smell the scent of tangerines from the small orchards present, listen to Christmas carols coming from different parts of the city, buy gifts from truly original little stores, enjoy the falling snow while admiring the peculiarities of the borough that completely deviate from the linearity of the main streets.
