THE FLOWER OF OUR

EMOTIONS

The Duchess particularly

loved this flower, using it

as a modern logo, near

her signature and

embroidered on her

dresses

Marie Louise of Habsburg

Napoleon’s second wife,

Duchess of Parma

Botanical Garden in Parma

Marie Louise dedicated particular attention to violets growing

In the Botanical Garden Marie Louise took care personally of the violets

Still today, we can admire some old and very interesting herbariums

From this passion, finds its origins the tipycal scent of Parma:

The “VIOLETTA DI PARMA”

This tradition keeps on since our days by the “BORSARI” enterprise, which is still producing the original perfume

Violet still defines the local pottery and the

town itself

Here in Parma violets are everywere

The typical violet colour of Parma
