Stirone

The Stirone is a creek in Emilia-Romagna that flows northward for approximately 55 kilometers from Monte Mezzano before joining the Taro River. The waterway passes through diverse terrain and shapes the landscape between the provinces of Piacenza and Parma.

The creek has played a role in the region's development over time by providing water resources to local communities. Over the centuries, the waterway shaped the economic and geographic pattern of surrounding settlements.

The waterway forms the foundation of Parco Regionale Fluviale Stirone, where researchers study extensive fossil records and conduct geological research.

The creek is accessible from various roads and pathways that allow you to explore the area. Spring and summer offer the best conditions for visiting, when water flow is steady and the landscape is green.

The watercourse establishes a natural boundary between the provinces of Piacenza and Parma, reaching an elevation of 695 meters at its source.
