The House of the farmers in Coenzo, a hamlet of Sorbolo Mezzani, in the lower Parma area, was born from an idea of Don Learco Paini together with the Parish of S. Siro and the ANSPI “I Baloss” Club.
It is dedicated to the rural culture of the past, a “home” where you can find common experiences and memories, and where the younger generations can rediscover the traditions of their grandparents.
