Parma, River in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

The Parma River stretches 92 kilometers from Monte Marmagna in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines to its confluence with the Po River near Mezzani.

The river established itself as a fundamental resource for the development of settlements since 183 BC when Romans founded the city along Via Aemilia.

The Parma River divides the city into two sections, creating a distinct urban landscape known as Lungoparma where residents maintain local traditions.

The river maintains an average water flow of 11.3 cubic meters per second at its mouth, supporting agricultural irrigation throughout the Emilia-Romagna region.

Local dialect distinguishes the river as 'la Parma' from 'il Parma' football club, while 'Parma Voladora' refers to periods of intense flooding.
