Cremona

Alex had a road game in Cremona on Sunday so we stayed behind to explore the town made famous by Stradivarius.

The town is about an hour southeast of Milan and home to dozens of violin makers.

Alex gives Stradivarius two thumbs up!

Stradivarius is buried in the center of town, in Piazza Roma. He lived, worked and died in Cremona. There is a museum dedicated to his stringed instruments in town, but it's closed on Mondays, of course.

Duomo.


Front entrance of the duomo. Yeah, it's pretty huge.

The town torrazzo, considered the tallest campanile in Italy. The astronomical clock is the original one from 1583.

Upper half of the campanile.
