EXHIBIT ON “JANELLO TORRIANI – GENIO DEL RINASCIMENTO”
Janello Torriani was a skilful blacksmith, a universally acclaimed watchmaker, an ingenious hydraulic engineer, a court mathematician and a famous inventor. The exhibition "Janello Torriani - Genius of the Renaissance" is a tribute that the city of Cremona offers to its famous citizen, a genius of the Italian Renaissance, who with his sophisticated creations inspired the innovative mechanics of the Sixteenth Century. Janello Torriani perfectly interprets the spirit of the traditional high-quality craftmanship of Cremona: in fact, the exhibit will show the most complex machines and devices developed by the "Lord of Time" during his lifetime.
The partnership between Italo and the Violin Museum intends not only to promote the exhibition on Torriani, but also to cast light on another important cultural event of Cremona: the exhibit of the famous Stradivari Messiah 1716, the violin that was never played, an intact masterpiece of the great Maestro Antonio Stradivari.
Thanks to this partnership, Italo's passengers have one more reason to visit Cremona, with its exhibits, its medieval monuments and its culinary tradition.
