Tables Edinburgh continued with a 100 percent record in United Rugby Championship with a 29-12 win Zebras in Italy.
The Parma side have picked up just one point this season but took the lead when Alessandro Fusco crossed for a try in the 12th minute after James Grayson had conceded an earlier penalty for Edinburgh.
The try saw Edinburgh reduced to 14 men following a yellow card for Malelili Satala, but the visitors turned things around late in the first half with tries from Matt Currie and Freddy Douglas, with Fusco in the sin bin.
The 15-5 lead was then further extended by a Magnus Bradbury try in the 56th minute, which was converted by James Grayson.
Zebre responded after Harri Morris was booked for the Scottish side and Giacomo Ferrari scored their second try.
But Ewan Ashman crossed in the last minute to secure a bonus point for Edinburgh and complete a strong afternoon at a venue where they have often struggled.
