Parma to be Italian Capital of Culture 2021

Parma will be Italian Capital of Culture again in 2021: the request had been supported by the city, the region and several other cities in Italy competing for the title and was accepted by the government in the Relaunch Decree.

As a result of the health emergency, all activities organized for the nomination were suspended, threatening to nullify everything. The good news was immediately commented on by the city’s mayor, Federico Pizzarotti:"Parma Italian Capital of Culture 2021 represents a fair and far-sighted decision: the city and its people have worked so hard to create a year of culture that lives up to the country’s expectations, we had a great desire to demonstrate Parma’s full potential. We still have it: in 2021 we will come back even stronger. Culture will continue to beat the clock and be the metronome of our growth."

“The extension of Parma 2020 to 2021 represents a cultural and management challenge,” added Councillor for Culture Michele Guerra, “which we approach with the same enthusiasm that has so far accompanied the adventure of Italian Capital of Culture. The theme of Time, today suspended, reclusive, hyperconnected, remains the red thread of a program that will also be able to speak to the historical passage we are living through. Indeed, we will have the responsibility of sustaining our cultural proposal in this period of unthinking behavioral changes and great uncertainties, and we will have to demonstrate, with even greater strength, that it is from the territories of culture that the thought of a new community life can take its first steps.”

Parma is therefore preparing for a new year as the Italian Capital of Culture and represents a great opportunity for the entire surrounding area as well.
