Cremona

Cremona is a city in Lombardy, in northern Italy's Po Valley, set on the banks of the Po River amid the flat farmland of the region's south. It is known for its violin-making tradition, its cathedral square and the tall Torrazzo tower, and its historic centre has a compact, walkable character with residential districts spreading beyond the old walls. Buyers and renters are drawn by the calm pace, the riverside setting and rail links to Milan and other Lombard cities.
