From Sarnico (find out the article here) I returned to Brescia, and having already seen it, I decided to go, during the day, to Cremona and Mantua.
To start getting an idea of the places and views that I was able to admire, I invite you to watch the video below containing the most significant images of this experience.
How to reach Cremona?
From Brescia I took the train that took me directly to this city in southern Lombardy, on the border with Emilia-Romagna.
Cremona: land of violins and luthiers
Just a few steps after exiting the train station I came across one of the tourist attractions, soul of the city: the violin :)
Historic center and surroundings
From there, I walked towards the city center reaching Stradivari Square (formerly Cavour Square) with its Federico II Courtyard. Turning left, then, I took the street that led me to the Piazza del Comune. Here there was an embarrassment of places/monuments/glimpses to photograph/resume: the very famous Torrazzo,
the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta,
the Baptistery,
Loggia dei Militi
and, finally, the Palazzo del Comune.
Cremona: home of nougat
After a short break, also to quench my thirst, I took via Solferino to reach one of the iconic places of the city: the Sperlari shop.
In addition to being a land of luthiers and violins, Cremona is known for being the home of nougat :)
Violin Museum
A small photo stop could not be missing also in the Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium area where the Violin Museum of the city is located.
From there, a small passage in the Pope John Paul II public gardens before returning to the station.
The journey continues…
On the same day, as previously mentioned, I decided to also go to Mantua, the city of the Gonzagas (find out the article here).
