According to the legend that links torrone to the city of Cremona, it seems that this particular sweet was born in 1441 on the occasion of the wedding of the dukes of Milan, Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti. The name derives from the Torrazzo of Cremona, the great tower that is the symbol of the city.
Every year in November, Cremona becomes the sweetest city in Italy. The Torrone Festival always wants to amaze with many new features but there will be no shortage of traditional events, such as stalls, tastings, maxi Torrone constructions, the Golden Torrone, the Historical Reenactment of the Wedding between Bianca Maria Visconti and Francesco Sforza and the awaited Final Show that have always accompanied the festival.
Don't miss the chance to come to Cremona and be a protagonist of the sweetest party of the year. You can stay at the Cremona Inn Aparthotel, just a stone's throw from the historic center and complete with private covered parking: you won't have to think about where to leave your car, just a 10-minute walk will be enough to be in the center of the party!
