The 2018 edition of Cremona’s “Festa del Torrone” is going to be dedicated to the Twentieth century!
From Saturday 17th  to Sunday November 25th , a 9-day festival that will transform Cremona in the national capital of entertainment and enjoying!

This edition will be dedicated entirely to the twentieth century, the "short century" as it is often called, the century of two world wars but also of discovery, the century of Communication and Globalization, the century that, for better or for worse, gave a great acceleration to history, science, art and social changes.
It will be particularly focused  on the biggest cremonese protagonist of the twentieth century: Mina. The Tiger of Cremona will be at the center of many initiatives, shows, concerts, musicals, Flower Festival, performances and more. All to celebrate a unique and wonderful artist who carried the city's name across national borders.

The goal of SGP Events, the company that has been organizing the event for 11 years by now, is to overcome itself and the great success in the recent years. In 2017 there were 300,000 attendances in 9 days, 80 tons of nougat sold, over 350 buses arrived in town, 400 campers from all over Italy, restaurants and clubs in the city besieged by visitors.

And to do that it will focus on many confirmations but also on many innovations. In fact there will be giant buildings of nougat, the reenactment of the wedding between Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti and the “Gold Nougat”, for example, but there will also be  historical initiatives, animation and entertainment.

So, don’t miss the opportunity to come to Cremona from 17th  to 25th  November.
There will be many surprises, to find out more in preview just follow “La Festa del Torrone” on all its social channels, constantly updated.
