The historic city of Cremona in Lombardy is dominated by a monumental bell tower, the Torrazzo. At 112 meters tall, it is the tallest brick bell tower in Europe and one of the most impressive medieval structures in Italy. The Torrazzo was built gradually between the 13th and 14th centuries as part of the cathedral complex. Its brick construction testifies to both the technical ingenuity of medieval builders and the city's ambition to express its power and importance. In 1583, a unique astronomical clock was added to the tower, which still fascinates with its accuracy. Climbing the Torrazzo is a spiritual journey from earth to heaven, and it is not difficult to ascend the 502 steps that lead to the final terrace to enjoy a breathtaking 360° panorama. The visit includes a stop in the rooms dedicated to the study of time and astronomy in the new Vertical Museum, which was inaugurated in November 2018. https://www.cattedraledicremona.it/torrazzo-interno/?lang=de

In San Giovanni in Croce, nestled in the Cremona countryside, stands this 15th-century noble residence associated with Cecilia Gallerani, the "Lady with an Ermine" depicted by Leonardo da Vinci. The villa, now restored and open to the public, preserves Renaissance-era architectural elements and opens onto a vast park of over twelve hectares, with ponds, clearings, and paths.

A splendid Renaissance square dominated by the three figures of the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Torrazzo, which offers a panoramic view of the entire Po Valley.

Small charming town where the Gonzaga family spent some time. There is a castle and a square surrounded by arcades. The interior of the church was also designed by the Gonzagas.

This stretch of cycle path runs along the Oglio River. It is part of the long route called "Via delle risaie" that crosses the south of Lombardy.

Gazzuolo is an interesting town in the Mantua area. The architecture is typical of Gonzaga towns, with beautiful porticos that shelter from the sun and rain. It is known for the theater founded by the Ligurian playwright Giacometti, who moved here in the 19th century.
