Cremona & Mantua - Where Music Lives
L’italiana in Algeri
Spend time in the charming, Christmas-decorated city of Cremona, home of the famous violin makers Amati, Guarneri and Stradivari. A visit to a descendant of these masters shows you the art of violin making. An excursion takes you to Mantua, a jewel of Italian art and architecture. A violin concert at the Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi and an opera performance at the Teatro Ponchielli crown the journey.
