Walking through our city even alone we feel in company. Our ways must be named by people who, by now, are almost family since we have spoken them to fix an appointment or even just to orient ourselves. But how much do we really know about their lives? Perhaps it is not so obvious to know the life of the Asdente cobbler, Professor Rondani or the characters of the Risorgimento. Thus, there is a paradox: they are names that are far apart and close together. Also the third volume of the "Stradario" will present another 120 grouped by quarters and introduced by maps. The third volume of Lo Stradario Parmigiano a Vignette has been made by several hands. Professional designers, students of the Toschi Art School, improvised artists… everyone has adopted a character. The Stradario dei Parmigiani (and not only ...) for the Parmigiani.
At the end of the volume, an appendix edited by the Municipal Historical Archives dedicated to the old town toponyms.
