Description

In the heart of Parma, a few steps away from the crowded streets of the city center, time stands still at the Ancient Pharmacy of San Filippo Neri. Enter this galenical laboratory dating back to 1789, where the glassware and the jars tell a story of the development of assistance and pharmaceuticals from the 17th to the 20th century. Immerse yourself in the silence that smells of medicinal plants and dust, and explore the fascinating chemical instruments and elegant bottles. Investigate the substances and ancient preparations, which were never sold, only given to the poor.
