Helpfulness
This is the most famous candy store of Cremona - since 1836 - where the "torrone" (nougat) and "mostarda" (sweet, sour and pickled fruit) are produced with the trademark of Enea Sperlari. Owner of the first commercial license of the region, Sperlari was the supplier to the prince of Piedmont and the Queen Mother. It is the favourite stop for anybody with a "sweet tooth" such as the nineteenth century painter Carlo Vittori. Nothing has changed inside the store. Worth visiting for its many delicacies
What to buy: Torrone - that's a must. It's a hard or soft sweet bar made of almonds, honey and white of egg. Then the Mostarda, sweet and sour pickled fruit. These local specialties are bought and eaten especially during the Xmas period and particularly in the northern Italy.
What to pay: You can spend about 5 Euros for a Torrone and something more for a good Mostarda jar.

Cremona is one of my favourite Lombardy towns. It doesn't boast anything unmissable - still, it's quiet and pleasant, true. It gave birth to the world wide famous violin composer, named Stradivari and...
