About

About the area

The harmony of precise movement, the music that envelops you, the building of emotions. Cremona’s soul is its art, made by expert hands, concentration that becomes poetry. From wood to sound: this is the city of violin making, and of the master Antonio Stradivari who brought this art to masterpiece status. A centuries-old tradition that has become an intangible heritage of humanity and can be admired in the Violin Museum. An inseparable bond with the city, that began five centuries ago with Andrea Amati, can be felt in the alleyways full of hundreds of craftsmen's workshops that mix essences and resins, draw shapes, carve scrolls, sculpt, caress curves and pass on secrets to achieve the best acoustics. Cremona is a treasure trove with its square, the Town Hall and the Cathedral where a Gothic structure has been grafted onto the Romanesque church in “a single astonished gaze” as Hermann Hesse wrote. Cremona is the Torrazzo, the tallest bell tower in Italy, with its 111 metres of height and more than 500 steps. From above, all the poetic variations appear with medieval red roofs, the green Po Valley and the majesty of the Po with the ancient Roman river port. A city enveloped in delicious scents: egg whites, honey, and almonds make the magic of “torrone” nougat, the Christmas sweet created here in 1441 as a wedding gift for Bianca Maria Visconti and Francesco Sforza. And a riot of flavours, with mostarda, the jam of whole pieces of candied fruit that Giuseppe Verdi used to send as gifts to friends, to accompany boiled meats and cheeses. Cremona is the sound of the soul.
