Province of Cremona, Administrative province in Lombardy, Italy
The Province of Cremona is an administrative division in Lombardy that spreads across flat land in the Padana Plain. The territory is bordered by the Po River and crossed by many waterways used for farming irrigation.
The province was created in 1859 as an administrative unit during the territorial reorganization of Italy under the Kingdom. It emerged from the reshaping of the Italian territories at that time.
Cremona, the main city, carries on a tradition of violin making that dates back centuries and remains active in workshops throughout the area. Craftspeople there still use techniques passed down from master builders of earlier times.
The area is connected to Milan, Brescia, and Piacenza by a network of railways and roads. These links make travel across the Lombardy region convenient and straightforward.
The territory includes more than a hundred municipalities and serves as a major center for corn and wheat farming along with dairy production. These agricultural products feed much of northern Italy.
