A stroll through the historical center of Cremona reveals its hidden artistic and architectural treasures. Within the superb medieval square, we’ll take in the immensity of the duomo, bell tower, and cathedral. This lovely city was home to Antonio Stradivari, the famous string-instrument crafter, and we’ll be able to visit a violin-maker’s workshop during our tour. We’ll then head to Polesine Parmense and stop and a stop at the Spigaroli brothers' estate (if unavailable, a similar estate can be offered) for a lunch based on local produce. The tour ends with a brief visit to the ham maturing cellars.
