LA SCOPERTA DELL’ACQUA CALDA

il blog di una guida turistica tra Emilia e Lombardia

L’idea del BLOG!

Mi chiamo Patrizia Oropallo, e faccio la guida turistica; ho cominciato questa attività a Piacenza da una ventina di anni (!), e nel tempo ho esteso le mie competenze anche alle zone di Parma e di Cremona.
Insieme ai miei colleghi di Atlante ho deciso che è arrivato il momento di usare un nuovo modo di comunicare quella che è la mia e la nostra passione; vorrei condividere le bellezze del territorio e dei monumenti e opere d’arte che mi circonda e così inauguro il blog del quale mi occuperò principalmente io.
