Collecchio (Parmigiano: Colècc') is a town in the province of Parma, Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. It is located 12.9 kilometres (8.0 mi) by road southwest of the centre of Parma.[3] A major food-producing area, it is home to multinational Italian dairy and food corporation Parmalat and the Parma F.C. training complex, Centro Sportivo di Collecchio, and is connected by railway.[4] Under the Romans the town was called Sustrina, Later, in Christian times it was called, Colliculum, because of its location on a small hill. In 2015, Collecchio became recognized as the first community to mandate that all fireworks set off in the town be silent.
