Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We wanted very much to see this collection but didn't want to drive from Parma. We learned from the tourist office there is a bus. It was very simple, just buy your ticket at the TEP office next to the station. Walk 1 block, get the bus and 30 min later you are at the villa. The collection is astounding--not just any Durer's--his greatest prints. As others have mentioned the collection includes a Titian, Cezannes, modern and Old Masters. All displayed in the lincredble rooms of the villa. We also stopped in the bar/ restaurant for prosecco and it was served with a small plate of salami, Parmesan and little fried bread specific to the region. It was lovely sitting outside with peacocks wandering up hoping for a treat.

It's located in a village 17km south of Parma & is worth a special detour even without visiting the Torrechiara castle.
A beautiful villa standing in a big park. Inside there are temporary exhibitions, but for me the highlight was the permanent one displaying works of Goya, Cezanne, Monet, Mattisse, Renoir, Titian, Durer etc.
While admiring the art it's worthwhile to pay attention to the rooms, the furniture, the carpets etc.
It's a pleasant surprise in a rather secluded area, which shouldn't be missed.

This is a hidden gem in the middle of the beautiful countryside. This is a spectacular villa with a beautiful collection including Albrect Durer and Monet. It is a small collection but there were not many people there the afternoon we went so I could just gaze-away... A completely peaceful way to spend an afternoon.
The grounds are gorgeous and the peacocks were showing the plumage- noisily, I might add.

This wonderful villa is set a few km from Parma, in the hill area, and can be reached from Parma by bus or by car. If you like contemporary art you don’t have to miss it! The location itself is great: a villa surrounded by a park, with a restaurant and running free peacocs.
The Magnani Rocca houses a permanent exposition of paintings and sculpture (such as Goya, Renoir, Matisse, De Pisis, Cezanne), but it houses temporary exhibition of most important international contemporary artist. Next temporary exhibition will be dedicated to Guttuso and will start in September.

A magnificent collection tucked away in the countryside outside Parma is not to be missed by art lovers. It can be easily linked to a visit to the stunning castle of Torrechiara in an excursion from Parma.
The villa is set in beautiful formal English-style parklands which are visited by local people as an outing in its own right but the main attraction is the permanent art collection stunningly displayed in the villa.
Contrary to an earlier comment we thought the attendants looking after the collection were utterly charming and helpful and made a significant contribution to our pleasure in the visit.
As for the art itself, may I list some of the highlights.
The greatest attraction for us was one of the most beautiful of Titians; a sacred conversation with saints; a virgin and child seated against a dark background opening up to a glimpse of a prospect. The figure of St Catherine on the virgin's right is one of Titian's most exquisite creations, her right arm in a pale purple dress and the white silk undergarment projects into the viewer's space, each fold and crease catching the light with fabulous beauty.
A large Goya family group was also stunning with its addition of the painter himself on the right hand side of the picture caught in the act of looking at the family of the infante don Luis before touching brush to canvas.
The pair of Tiepolo capriccios in the foyer could easily be overlooked but both the Finding of Moses and the depiction of Midas are elegant masterworks.
Two rooms full of works by Morandi are unmissable
and there are many many more treasures to be discovered.
It is one of the most delightful collections anywhere and an absolute joy to find in its rural setting.

Beautiful villa with gorgeous gardens; the white peacock was stunning!
Really enjoyed the De Chirico exhibition and the permanent collection was interesting too.
Nice way to spend a few afternoon hours.

Made a stop at magnani Rocca on our way back to Parma from visiting the castle of torrechiara, perfect combination, the sights are really close to esch other. Liked the peaceful surroundings and the small but tasteful collection. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed when we were there.

The park is beatiful, the interior of the Foundation is well organized. However people at the reception and also those serving at the inside bar-restaurant seems to be there to serve for a sentence: it is very hard to succeed to obtain an information or a glass of drink either...

Decided to stop of and have a little culture. This little out of the way estate well deserves it's grand title. An amazing selection of art with frequently changing seasonal exhibitions.

This is a gallery of special art and artefacts collected by the Magnani Rocca family. The foundation was born in 1977.Here there are works by Filippo Lippi, Durer, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne and others. As a person who has not appreciated art until late in life, this was a gallery in which to see some beautiful art without being swamped. I thoroughly recommend it.

Vorrei visitare la Mostra sulla Pubblicità , ma arrivando da Milano con il treno. Da Parma FS capisco che ci siano dei bus: qcn li ha usati? di quale linea bus stiamo parlando? domenica una corsa sola? da come e' scritto sul sito pare di sì, ma preferisco chiedere. Grazie in anticipo!
Written 7 October 2017
Io sono andata in auto perché il museo rimane molto fuori, in piena campagna. So che però ci sono autobus durante le mostre, nel sito del museo trovi tutte le informazioni ed un numero verde da chiamare.

Quanto dura indicativamente la mostra ? Grazie
Written 8 December 2016
Ciao, la visita alla mostra permanente si può fare in in un'oretta e mezzo direi. Se ci sono mostre temporanee non saprei. Comunque ti assicuro che vale la pena!
