Italy Tour Day 4 – Cremona

We left Milan early this morning for a travel-day to Monastier di Treviso, near Venice. On the way, we stopped in Cremona for a city tour that included the Cathedral, Piazza Comunale, and the Hall of Violins. At the violin museum, we saw their oldest violin made in 1566 and several original Stradivari violins, violas and a cello. While there, a musician played a short concert for us using the best violin in the world, a 1715 Stradivari. It was amazing! After lunch in Cremona, we left on the 2nd leg of our bus trip to the Venice area for dinner and to check in at the hotel. We are all looking forward to our day tomorrow to visit Venice and have a performance at San Moise Church. Due to our late arrival in to Monastier di Treviso, pictures of the day will come soon…
