The most problem in the country are the floods... Colorno is crossed by a large numbers of canals like this (this is the canal Galasso, near my house)...in winter the canals swell and often overflow! :(

Colorno was also called "the country of madmen" because for a long time there was a very famous madhouse here.
On 1873 the administration of Parma, following an epidemic broke out in the city, moved to Colorno the psychiatric hospital, near the San Domenico's convent. Only in 1987, thanks to the law called "Legge Basaglia" the madhouse was closed and the patients were inserted into the working world. Now, it is an abandoned and run down building... you can find a video of madhouse here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If8QjFtJvDU

One of the place I love most are the fields near my house. I live slightly off center, in countryside. I have a lot of animals and my house is surrounded by fields of wheat... At evening the sunsets are spectacular!!

In Colorno there are a lot of green spaces where the children can play... this is a photo of my nursery! (Now there is no one because the schools are closed in June!)

During the year there are several very nice festivals. In April the "Flower Festival" is a very famous event. In Semptember, instead, there is a Festival called "All mad for Colorno" where a lot of buskers perform in all the country (photo). In this moment the country fills with young people... in the rest of the year there aren't many events for the youngs! Colorno is a small country with a lot of older people!! :P

The first park was commissioned by count Roberto Sanseverino in 1480. In the first half of the eighteenth century the garden was renovated by the architect Alexandre Petitot with a mix of french and italian style landscape garden. On 1816 Marie Louise tranformed the park in a english-style garden. It is a very beautiful place where the people and the children can play and take a moment of rest.
In the summer the weather is very humid and muggy, the temperature can reach at 35/40°c. Marie Louise loved this place but she suffered from rheumatism and this climate wasn't so good for her!

The Ducal Palace is the most important attraction of the country. It was built by Francesco Farnese, Duke of Parma in the 18th century on the remains of a former castle (it was built as a defence of the Po River). On 1807 the Duchy of Parma were annihilated by the French Empire. So, after the Congress of Vienna, the Duchy went to Marie Louise, Napoleone's wife, who made the Palace her favourite residence and created a wide english-style garden.

Colorno is a country which is crossed by a large number of small canals. The origin of the name comes from latino "Caput Lurni" (that means "at the beginning of the canal Lorno"). In fact, the country is in the point of confluence between the canal Lorno and the creek Parma. In this view we can see a Roman bridge near the square.
