Corniglio has endured as a fortified settlement in the Parma Apennines since the Middle Ages. Set above the upper Parma River valley, it belongs to a highland zone of chestnut woods, pastures and ridges leading towards Monte Orsaro, the highest summit in the province of Parma. The surviving Castle of Corniglio, rebuilt and altered over centuries, recalls the town’s role in controlling routes through the valley. Corniglio is also a practical base for walking and cycling in the nearby Tuscan-Emilian Apennines National Park, where settled slopes give way to open mountain country.
