Basilicanova

The landscape around Basilicanova is a level, intensively farmed stretch of the Po Valley, with the northern Apennine foothills rising farther south, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and agricultural economy. Basilicanova is a frazione of Montechiarugolo in the province of Parma, where fields, farm roads and residential lanes form a transition between Parma and the hills. The wider Parma area belongs to the production zone for Parmigiano Reggiano, a defining food tradition of Emilia-Romagna. Montechiarugolo Castle, a Renaissance-era fortress near the Enza River, is the municipality’s main historic landmark.
