Every day: from 10.00 to 13.00 - from 14.30 to 18.00. Last ascent 30 minutes before th Torrazzo closes. Christmas, every Monday in January and February closed. The Torrazzo is one of the monument that best symbolizes the city of Cremona: it is indeed one of the highest medieval bell towers in Europe (m 112,22 – feet 368,18). The structure exemplifies the extreme accuracy of the ancient construction techniques and it is considered a perfect union between architectonic styles, which are completely different from each other. Thanks to the recent opening of the Vertical Museum, the issues related to the study of the astronomical are analyzed. Inside the 4 new halls you can find some curious historic objects and many kinds of old clocks. There’s also a fantastic Foucault’s Pendulum installation. Its oscillation demonstrates the Earth rotation from a scientific point of view. On the top of the tower you can admire a wonderful city view.

Who would have thought that a museum full of ‘dusty old violins’ could be so interesting!? We travelled to Cremona so I could fulfill a long-held ambition to see a Stradivavius violin in real life. I wasn’t expecting much from the museum. But...we were totally blown away by this amazing facility. The interactive media presentations before and after the ‘main event’ of feasting your eyes on these incredible works of art and craftsmanship were all very engaging. Our experience was helped by the fact that there were maybe only 6 other visitors in the place on the day we went. Tip: go now, while tourist numbers are generally low due to Covid-19 and go to the museum when it opens at 11:00. The ‘treasure room’ contains the museum’s collection of Amati, Guarneri, and Stradivari violins, violas, etc. We were actually the only people in the room during our viewing, so we could spend as long as we liked with our noses practically pressed agains the cases. A knowledgeable security guard was happy to answer my host of questions. In addition to the their Old Masters, the museum also houses many other violins from the 18th C to the modern day. Currently there is a small exhibition of Old Master violins on loan from the US National Music Museum in South Dakota (who knew?). It was a great experience and very worthwhile if you are at all interested in music, instruments or culture in general. You will learn a lot and be totally amazed!

Tradition has always shown in the typical tower structure via Lanfranco in the fortified town of Soncino, the headquarters of the Jewish family "Soncino. Nell'Officina of Soncino, there are numerous typographical and equipment cases illustrating the technical processes and stages of movable type printing. Thanks to a 19th-century wine press you can observe the methodology with which the individual pages were printed. Iconographic panels present the history of printing, movable type and presses, evoking as well, conducting a working day in the workshop of typographic "Soncino" back in 1480. In 1488 was printed the first complete Bible in Hebrew vowel signs. In a typographic brand reads: ... From Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Soncino ...

In questo periodo di restrizioni sanitarie il Museo della Seta aprirà SOLO SU PRENOTAZIONE. Nei pressi della stupenda Rocca sforzesca, nella cornice dell’ex Filanda a Soncino, il Museo della Seta offre in visione ai visitatori antichi strumenti per la produzione della seta, dall'approvvigionamento delle uova dei bachi fino alla trattura della seta. Il museo nasce da una collezione privata del suo Curatore,Enzo Corbani,iniziata oltre vent'anni fa e continuata ancor oggi. Recentemente il museo ha conosciuto un ampliamento,con l'apertura di una stanza dedicata alle ditte bacologiche o seme-bachi, cioè le aziende produttrici di uova: si tratta di una delle rarissime sale a ciò dedicate in tutta Italia. Vi troverete, altresì, filmati d'epoca sulla bachicoltura e manifesti in tema.
