"When moving to Parma, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather, such as light layers for the summer and warm layers for the winter. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city, as well as a raincoat and umbrella for the occasional rain shower. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items that remind you of home, such as photos, books, and music. Finally, make sure to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport and visa," remarked another expat in Parma, Italy.
