The world discovered Crema through "Call Me by Your Name", filmed among these squares and fields: but the miniature Lombard city was already all there — the brick Lombard-Gothic cathedral, the porticoes, the Bramantesque sanctuary of Santa Maria della Croce, the quiet elegance of a small capital that was Venetian for three centuries, unique on the Lombard mainland.
The tortello cremasco, sweet-spiced with amaretti and raisins, is a statement of identity that divides and conquers. Bicycles, gelato on the square and irrigation channels all around: the happy province is no myth — it has an address.
