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
