Stradivari's birthplace

by barrikello - last update: Sep 4, 2004

An underrated interesting town

Piazza del Comune
Cremona is one of my favourite Lombardy towns. It doesn't boast anything unmissable - still, it's quiet and pleasant, true. It gave birth to the world wide famous violin composer, named Stradivari and now many artists keep his passion alive by carving the most requested violins in the world.

 I went through this place so many times by train but never saw the town. I must go back to see the violins and have some torrone.
