Cremona - Italian Movie Trips

Modern opera and the modern violin making were both born here in Cremona, and its Renaissance palaces and galleries along the Po river may help you understand why. Opera composer Claudio Monteverdi worked in Cremona, as did the father of the Stradivarius, Antonio Stradivari. You can see some of his greatest violins, alongside equally renowned works by Amati and Guarneri in the Palazzo Comunale and the Stradivarius museum. You can also see one of Italy's tallest campaniles, slightly smaller than the one at St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome.
