a market morning
(San Secondo Parmense (PR) - Emilia Romagna)

We had already talked about San Secondo a few years ago, in particular about the Rocca dei Rossi, at the western side of the village.

With this special we would like to present its more lively aspect: the market day

A bit of history:
The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times.
In the year 894, a document by King Arnulf of Carinthia mentions the locality among the possessions of the Parma Chapter.
In the 12th century, the Rossi family brought the territory of San Secondo to its greatest splendour.
Although there were turbulent periods in the 16th century, the territory remained in the hands of the Rossi family until the 19th century, when the family died out.
Today, the municipality recalls its history with the Palio delle Contrade, held on the first Saturday in June and commemorating the sumptuous wedding of Count Pier Maria Rossi III and Camilla Gonzaga.

A note:
the territory of San Secondo is the area of production of “spalla cotta”, one of Parma's most renowned cured meats.
