The Parmigianer: the bicycle cover

Cover for The Parmigianer: a cyclist rides through Parma carrying the whole city on his back. That’s how you carry a city you love: on top of you, and pedalling.

The Parmigianer is a project with an artistic and narrative focus, inspired by The New Yorker’s international style. It aims to promote the culture, beauty, and all the nuances that make Parma a unique city.

Through illustrations by artists from the region or those who have adopted it, the project highlights the unmistakable essence of Parmigianità—everything that has contributed and continues to contribute to shaping and enriching Parma’s identity.

Its purpose is to generate and regenerate Parmigian culture—at times marvelous, at times contradictory, but always carrying the seed of poetry.

An illustrated tribute to the beauty and uniqueness of Parma through the (real) posters of an (imaginary, for now) magazine. Support the project and the artists involved. Bring a piece of Parmigianità to your home!
