THE SAN FILIPPO NERI ANTIQUE PHARMACY AND THE JESUIT AREA IN THE HEART OF PARMA
In the heart of Parma, a stone’s throw from the crowded streets of the city center, there is a place still little known but of great charm, where time seems to stand still, the San Filippo Neri Antique Pharmacy. A galenic laboratory dating back to 1789 where, among the dark wooden shelves, the ancient tools, glassware and jars, you can retrace the development of assistance and pharmaceuticals from the 17th to the 20th century.
Artemilia proposes an evocative guided tour to discover the San Filippo Neri Antique Pharmacy, the former Oratory of San Tiburzio and the Jesuit area in Parma.
The guided tour winds its way through the University Palace, the seat of the Ursuline Congregation, the Palazzo del Tribunale, built in the area of the ancient Collegio dei Nobili, known to contemporaries as “the king of all colleges”, and the most important historical buildings of Via Farini, to discover curiosities and anecdotes about historical characters and the families that once lived there.
The installation “Florilegium” by Rebecca Louise Law enriches the itinerary, a message of rebirth, a sky of 200 thousand flowers that blend in a chromatic continuum with the frescoes of the former Oratory of San Tiburzio.
