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.
