There are a lot of places called Parma, and it is not obvious which one should be listed first. Perhaps Parma in Tibet?
This is actually a problem that can't be easily solved. "Parma" is interpreted in a cultural context, and the Italian city is just one of several places called the same. It might be obvious for an Italian that "Parma" is an Italian city, but it is equally obvious for someone from Tibet? What about Parma, Ohio, more than 80.000 people live there? The solution is to use a set of standardized user models, typically they will follow the language regions.
