On Saturday, February 8, 2025 , the 7th Annual Dinner & Dance of the Parma Association took place, an event that brings together the historic associations of the Parma community in the United Kingdom: Parmigiani Valtaro Association, Parmigiani Valceno Association, Casanova Association and Pellegrino Parmense Association, active for over 40 years.
The elegant evening was held at the Hilton Hotel Kensington, in Holland Park Avenue, London, under the patronage of Cariparma Crédit Agricole, the main sponsor of the event. The party was enlivened by live music by the Borgotarese group “Gli Stryx” and saw the special participation of the Borgotarese Band Corps.
As per tradition, the funds raised during the evening were donated to charity to voluntary associations in Valtaro and Valceno, confirming the solidarity commitment of the community.
Italea Emilia-Romagna had the honor of participating in this important event and thanks the organizers for the opportunity to promote the Italian roots on such a special occasion.
To conclude the weekend of celebrations, the traditional Holy Mass was held on Sunday 9 February at St. Peter’s Italian Church, in Clerkenwell Road, followed by a committee lunch in the Italian club located on the church premises, a moment of meeting and sharing for the Italian community in London.
