Palazzo Villa Sartori
A 14th-century palace built around a large courtyard with colonnades. The medieval structure facing Via Trecchi is completely preserved. Inside, it houses the most important cycle of medieval paintings in a private residence. The numerous rooms, some of which are entirely frescoed, feature 14th- and 15th-century decorations on various themes: human figures, animals, plant motifs with coats of arms, rose windows, starry tapestries, niches and architecture inspired by international Gothic style. These frescoes are a very rare example of Lombard taste in noble palaces, which were influenced by the Visconti court, to which Cremona was subject from 1334. The palace was also the main residence of conte Ugolino Cavalcabò, leader of the Guelphs and podestà of the city from 1403.
