Cremona Contemporanea | Art Week stems from the need to reaffirm in Italy and abroad the value of Cremona through a dialogue between its places and international contemporary artists. The cultural heritage in the city area, which counts numerous historic buildings, small and large squares, private galleries and disused spaces to be rediscovered, needs to be reactivated, enhanced and promoted.
Cremona has been a crossroads of changes, theater of interesting cultural and political ferments, tensions and conflicts, and has seen the passage of important families who have left traces which are still visible today. The project aims to give voice and life to this important artistic and cultural chapter (and capital) of the city and to witness the vitality and richness of the cultural and social status of Cremona.
Now in its third edition, the initiative - under the artistic direction of Rossella Farinotti - is promoted by the Department of Tourism and Events of Cremona with the support of the Cremona Industrial Association, the Chamber of Commerce of Cremona-Mantua-Pavia, the Confcommercio Provincia di Cremona, and the Community Foundation of the Province of Cremona.
