| Historically, the settlement which was to become Crema was in the centre of a swampland near the river Po. The town museum had an impressive collection of very large, pre-Roman dug-out boats discovered and preserved in recent times |

| The grand finale - the house where Pietro grew up, in the years soon after the war. We were a bit disappointed to find there was no blue plaque ... |
oh Barbara, I feel so honoured, and so proud! You made it to Crema, and you found the house in Via Palestro where I grew up! And you made fantastic pictures of the Duomo, the Palazzo Comunale, the dug-out canoes! Thank you. I'm telling our children they must look up this blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to grow up.
