‘Cremona Contemporanea – Art week’ 2025

“Cremona Contemporanea—Art Week” will run from 24 May to 2 June 2025 in various locations in Cremona, a northern Italian city 50 miles south of Milan.
Now in its third edition, the contemporary art exhibition, with the artistic direction of Rossella Farinotti, confirms itself as an appointment of reference for the art sector.

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 brick factory, the church of San Carlo al Po, the baptistery of San Giovanni, the Raimondi Palace, the Cattaneo Palace, the temple of San Luca, the Affaitati Palace, the Archaeological Museum, and the Ponchielli Theater, among many others.
