Aristocrat 8.1×

Ducal residue everywhere: the Aristocrat bench is a Farnese and Bourbon-Parma court artefact, the Conductor cluster is anchored by Toscanini, and the Painter tradition runs from Parmigianino's Mannerism through Lanfranco's Baroque ceilings. The Composer line is the opera-house town doing what opera-house towns do.
