“Cremona Contemporanea – Art week” will occur from 24 May to 2 June 2025.
With the artistic direction of Rossella Farinotti, the contemporary art exhibition, which confirms itself as an appointment of reference for the art sector, is now in its third edition, strengthened by the wide participation of visitors from Italy and abroad.

Once again this year, “Cremona Contemporanea” will see the invited artists exhibiting in some of the city’s most evocative spaces. The construction of dialogues between places and works of art – sculptures, paintings and graphics, site-specific installations and performances – is the distinctive feature of the event, which since its first edition, in 2023, has focused on enhancing the cultural and architectural heritage of Cremona, transforming well-known places or revealing spaces that are little known even to the citizens themselves.
Some of the venues that have hosted works during the review include the former Frazzi brickworks, the church of San Carlo al Po, the baptistery of San Giovanni, Palazzo Raimondi, Palazzo Cattaneo, the small temple and theatre of San Luca, Palazzo Affaitati, the Archaeological Museum and Teatro Ponchielli, among many others.
