Rugby Tours To Parma
Rugby Tours to Parma. Parma was already a built-up area in the Bronze Age. In the current position of the city rose a Terramare.
The Terramare were ancient villages built of wood on piles according to a defined scheme and squared form. They were constructed on dry land and generally in proximity to the rivers.
During this age between 1500 BC and 800 BC the first necropolis on the sites of the present-day Piazza Duomo and Piazzale della Macina were constructed.
The city was most probably founded and named by the Etruscans. This Roman colony was founded in 183 BC, together with Mutina (Modena) where 2,000 families were settled.
Zebre Rugby are from Parma and also play in the Guinness Pro14.
