This initiative showcases limited-edition t-shirts featuring the phrase 'AMORE/ART', a bilingual play on words signifying 'more art, more love', supported by Parma Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2020+21. Notable participating museums include Casa Natale Giuseppe Verdi, Cittadellarte, and Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta, among others.
