The Pantaro Court was one of the Hunting and Leizure Estated of the Farnese Dukes (The Dukes of Parma and Piacenza up until 1859). It was the exclusive holiday destination of many noble Parma families, including the Malaspina, the Recordati, and the Dall’Asta Count, who gradually changed the venue into a large farmhouse with gorgeous vineyards, crops, and vegetable orchards.
Farnesiana Court
A river land
In Pantaro, amid karst springs and irrigation canals, the Renaissance Court stands in a country park with rows of local trees marking the land divisions, ancient roads, and Roman land amelioration works that are still in a good preservation state.
The untouched river and karst spring landscape are framed by fertile farms, and vineyards in a wealthy natural setting beautified by skilful man's works.
