Description
Fontanellato is a comune and a small town located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy in the province of Parma. The town is located close to the cities of Piacenza and Parma on the plains of the Po River. According to scholars the town was first founded around the 15th century. The land where the town stands today has an older history. The area was already inhabited during the Bronze Age as several wooden pile dwellings of the Terramare culture had been found from the region in the 19th century. Fontanellato is quite a small town; there are only a few places to visit that include the castle and a few churches. Most of the attractions are all located close to the center of the town so they can all be easily visited on foot. The center of the town is quite compact and the older sections all have narrow streets which can only be visited in foot. Visitors can also drive around the town to explore some of the other quarters or use local public buses which are mostly used by the locals for commuting. Many tourists also rent mopeds or scooters to explore the town as well as some of the nearby areas.
