Parma ham on show in its hometown

On the 18th of September, Parma’s via Cavour will be transformed into an exhibit with just one central theme: Prosciutto di Parma – raw ham.
The photographer Renato Cerisola has dedicated a large selection of his photo shoots to capturing the seasoning of the ham: a slow process, but not incapable of capturing the public’s attention.

Without going into too much detail, each Parma ham officially recognized as such by its consortium has a story behind it that usually is nothing short of a beautiful piece of literature set in Emilia, in the cold of winter and under the checkered sun, but always wrapped in the humid embrace of wisdom perfected and passed down through generations.
