Returned to its splendour after a long period of neglect and degradation, Villa Medici del Vascello is one of the most interesting suburban residences of the Cremona area, the result of a series of transformations that have followed one another from the Fifteenth century onwards
The Villa immediately captures the eye with its magnificence given by the architecture inspired by the medieval fortresses alongside sophisticated elements of the extra-urban noble villas.
The garden that surrounds it is a romantic 12 hectare English garden , and hosts a scenic pond with captivating shapes and several small buildings in different styles. In the park you can still find some exotic plants among the first imported in Europe which have created the ideal background for a varied fauna.
In the country, the Church of San Zavedro, the oldest religious building in San Giovanni in Croce, located in the original village of the town, is definitely worth a visit. A succession of styles and overlays will let you breathe pure charm and immerse yourself in a journey to the past.
Moreover, the ancient church conceals still unresolved mysteries, from its creation desired by the Lombard Queen Theodelinde to the burial of Cecilia Gallerani, the Lady with the Ermine of Leonardo da Vinci..
