A prestigious municipality in Medieval times, home of great violin makers and musicians, and birthplace of major sixteenth century painters, Cremona offers over two thousand years of history and an undiscovered city centre. No less fascinating is its surrounding area, the green and fertile valley of the River Po. Crema, Casalmaggiore, the Rocca of Soncino, the fortified citadel of Pizzighettone, and the sanctuaries, are only a few of the attractions of the land of Stradivarius. This is why it is important, in boosting local tourism, not to overlook the beauty and diversity that make Cremona a varied area in which tradition, culture and gastronomy bled with such harmony. It is precisely their ability to meld different elements that makes Cremona and its area a single unit, rich in initiatives and keen to be discovered in an unhurried, discerning manner.
Arrival in Cremona
"... Dreamed up by men of long ago, e cathedral, tower and palace stand majestically and speak to me, and from the pillars and the arches eternity breathes and smiles "
