Next weekend sees the annual Literature and Music festival in Cremona - Le Corde dell'anima - "The Strings of the Soul". All around the town in various venues a series of encounters with writers and musicians takes place. It's well worth a visit.
I will be going to see David Nicholls talk about his best-seller "One" and hear the music of Nicolò Fabi (already seen him -he's very good) next Friday evening in the Piazza del Duomo.
The link shows how big an event it is and who is participating -unfortunately it only seems to be in Italian (unless i'm missing something!) Some good photos of last years event and this years Photography competition.
