Fidenza Village Designer Outlet | Designer Outlets

A designer outlet inspired by the operas of Verdi:

Designer shopping

Chic Designer Shopping’s Fidenza Village is set close to Parma, the charming, artistic and gastronomic centre of Italy. There are 90 luxury outlet boutiques and you’ll find Valentino, Dolce & Gabana, Missoni, Versace, Bikkembergs and many other labels here, with year round discounts of up to 70%.

The architecture of the Outlet reflects the stunning classical-style and the buildings are inspired by the operas of Verdi. The pedestrianised streets and piazzas lined with boutiques provide shoppers with a relaxed atmosphere to do their luxury shopping. Yep, no jostling with crowds or digging into bins of clothing for that “designer in a haystack” here.

Local attractions

After spoiling yourself with luxury purchases, you may wish to do some penance by walking the Pilgrim’s Way. The Via Francigena, an important route linking Rome with Northern Europe was used by pilgrims on their way to sacred Christian places of worship. The section of the route that passes through Parma was of particular strategic significance during the Middle Ages as it was the point at which people crossed the Apennine mountains to reach Rome.

If the above seems a bit drastic, then perhaps you could visit the Parma Cathedral and Baptistry, the San Donnino Fidenza Cathedral or you could indulge yourself even more by winding down in the Salsomaggiore Thermal Baths’ mineral-rich springs.
