The Story
The Territory
Cremona is a city on the left bank of the Po River in the fertile and bustling Padana Plain, founded by Roman legionaries over 2,200 years ago. Since that distant time it has continued to develop and preserve the strong bond with the great river and the surrounding countryside, a source of resources and richness.
In the course of the centuries, thanks to its geographical location, Cremona became an essential destination in the commercial routes to and from northern Europe, thus contributing to the diffusion of the local specialities such as Mostarda and Torrone.
Many centuries later, this same fertile environment would give birth to Antonio Stradivari and his extraordinary violins, a source of great pride in the city.
