Art & Culture
Cremona and its walled cities, castles, villas and gardens. A picture gallery with two masterpieces and a rich heritage to admire and the city's musical aptitude that relives every year through a calendar of themed events and above all Cremona's violin making, unsurpassed and known all over the world.

CASTELS, VILLAS AND GARDENS
Palaces, castles, museums, and more. Galleries of art, archeological parks, theaters, and villas: pieces that make up the puzzle in a sophisticated cultural landscape.
Palaces, city walls, museums. And there's more: the ancient printing house in Soncino, the patrician villas including the one where Leonardo painted the Lady with an Ermine. The highest bell tower in Europe, the so-called Torrazzo that dominates the Piazza del Comune: these are just some of the treasures scattered throughout the Cremona area, all full of charm, all to be discovered.
From the walls of Soncino, with its millennial Fortress, to those of Pizzighettone - one of the best-preserved walled cities of Lombardy, to the wonders of Castelleone desired by Bianca Maria Visconti, like the church of San Sigismondo in Cremona, where she married Francesco Sforza and after the wedding was frescoed by the leading names of the Lombard Renaissance.
Immaterial, but no less exciting are the appointments with the music: the seasons at Teatro Ponchielli and the festivals dedicated to ancient music, such as Monteverdi, which owes its name to the famous composer born in Cremona, or the Stradivari festival held in the Auditorium of the Violin Museum an international excellence for its acoustics, to commemorate the extraordinary collection that houses the Violin Museum of Cremona and that makes Cremona, «the homeland and the undisputed capital of world violin making». And next to these, and basically everywhere, lutherie: you can admire it, feel it, even smell it in every corner of Cremona.
