geography

The province of Cremona is located in the Po Valley and is characterized by a flat landscape. There are almost no hills or mountains, but various rivers such as the Serio or the Adda flow through the country. In the agricultural province, many artificial canals were created, which are particularly important for the rice cultivation that is predominant there.

Typical landscape in Cremona.

The longest Italian river, the Po , forms the border with the province of Piacenza . The Oglio River, on the other hand, separates Cremona from the northern province of Brescia .

October and November are the wettest months, February and January the driest. It is often foggy in winter, especially near rivers.

History of the province

The province of Cremona was founded in 1786 as part of the Josephine reforms . The administrative reform of Lombardy under Emperor Joseph II initially separated the eastern area of ​​Casalmaggiore from the old landscape. It was only recombined in 1791. After the Napoleonic era, when the department of Pô (or Eridan) was expanded to include Lodi and Crema, the Austrian province was restored in 1815. After the annexation of Lombardy by the Kingdom of Sardinia , the Rattazzi decree was issued in 1859 to reorganize the administration of the enlarged state. The province has now been divided into the three districts of Cremona, Casalmaggiore and Crema. In 1868 the province of Mantua, which had been annexed to the new Kingdom of Italy two years earlier, was restored to the same extent as it was before 1859. Therefore, the province of Cremona ceded some municipalities to the eastern end and at the same time received the municipality of Ostiano from the province of Brescia.
