It begins from the lake Lago Santo parmense (outflow called Parma di Lago Santo) and small lakes Gemio and Scuro (outflow called Parma di Badignana). After only 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) Parma di Lago Santo meets Parma di Badignana and then the river takes the name of Parma. It flows through the Province of Parma into Parma, dividing the city in two, and then continues to the Po.
