2010 saw the Mediterranean diet crowned as World Heritage by Unesco, but 2012 won’t be the year of Neapolitan Pizza. According to a recent Unesco meeting that took place in Dubai, the only Italian candidate for the title of World Heritage in 2012 is going to be the traditional violin-making craft of Cremona, in Lombardy.
In the meantime a new museum is due to be completed by Sept. 2012 at a cost of 12 million Euros, donated by local businessman and philanthropist Giovanni Arvedi, owner of the steelworks just outside Cremona.
The following link explains about the building of the new complex which will also house a new auditorium. It is in English as well as Italian! :bleed ht:
