About us
The society and its team.
Piacenza Turismi was born in 1991 as a society for the promotion and marketing of Piacenza and its province.
It’s a society (with a registered capital both public and private) that organizes exhibitions, conventions, seminars and workshops, realizes and edits tourist booklets, offers guided tours, interpreters, hostesses and cooperates with local newspapers, radios and TVs.
Different cultural backgrounds, enthusiasm and dynamism together with precision and attention to details are the key to great quality.
Placentia Incoming di Piacenza Turismi was born in 2006: it is both the first incoming travel agency in Piacenza and a tour operator that cooperates with local hotels, B&B, ‘agriturismi’, restaurants, castles as locations for gala dinners and conventions, tour guides and transportation societies. Professionalism and passion for our job will be able to satisfy every single requirement: we offer tailor-made proposals both for groups, families and singles.
