	zaniENG
		There was great respect towards Zani and his fame meant that in those years he was invited to Cremona as a member of the commission that chose Don G.A. Arrighi (1704-1780) of Viadena as the new Choirmaster in the Cathedral.
		Situated between Cremona and Parma and not far from the large cultural centres of the late renaissance, such as Mantua, Sabbioneta and Viadena, the small Casalmaggiore was in those times a breeding ground of musical talent.
		In his birthplace from 12 to 14 April 1739 he had the job of organising the preparations for the sumptuous musical celebrations in the church of S. Stefano at the request of the Padri Serviti della Fontana on the occasion of the anniversary of the beatification of some of their number.

	Golgotha by PORDENONE
		Located on the inner façade of the cathedral, this is the most impressive of the murals of the Passion of Christ that were the contribution of Pordenone to the large-scale decorative cycle painted by various artists in Cremona cathedral.
		When he took over the job of painting the frescos in the cathedral of Cremona from Romanino, Pordenone revolutionized the local school.
		The muggy, storm-laden atmosphere conjures up amazing effects of light.The three crosses are arranged in an asymmetrical fashion and are viewed from an angle.The crowd mills around uncomfortably and the dramatically foreshortened horses have an almost demonic look about them.The entire composition focuses around the tall mercenary at the centre.

		The restless Merula again returned to Cremona in 1646, becoming maestro de cappella of the Marian Lauds again and organist of the cathedral.
		It is customary for the choir of the latter to take part in some services at the cathedral, but in 1642 they issued an order forbidding their musicians and singers from performing under Merula's direction.
		The date for the birth of Tarquinio Merula is guesswork stemming from the fact that he received his confirmation on April 23, 1607, and 12 is the customary age for that.

	Municipality of Cremona - TOURIST INFORMATION - The Cathedral
		The cathedral's most important figurative cycle is composed of the frescoed decorations of the early 16th century on the side walls of the great nave which narrate in succession the Life of Mary and of Christ.
		The sarcophagus of Folchino Schizzi, inserted in the left-hand wall under the porch of the great facade, is a work bearing the name of Bonino da Campione (1357), where there is evidence of contacts between this artist and Giovanni di Balduccio and with the Lombardy trend, in the pre-Veronese stage of its production.
		The urn of the Saints Marcellino and Peter, largely sculpted by Benedetto Briosco (/506-1513) and placed in the crypt, and the Sarcofago Ala, executed by Gaspare Pedone (1513), now set in the wall of the main facade, on the right, are outstanding for their refined workmanship.

	Is Italy Next In Line After London?
		Just five days after the London attacks, a court in the northern Italian city of Brescia convicted two North African militants who belonged to a cell that in 2002 had allegedly planned to bomb the cathedral of Cremona and the Milan metro system, the busiest in the country (Corriere della Sera, July 13, 2005).
		In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Saudi dissident and designated terrorism supporter Saad Al Faqih warned that Italy will be hit soon, as it is the logical next step in al-Qaeda’s strategy of driving a wedge between the U.S. and its European allies (Corriere della Sera, July 12, 2005).
		In fact, it is not a coincidence that one of the perpetrators of the failed July 21 London bombings, Ethiopian Osman Hussein, sought refuge in Italy, where he contacted associates in Rome, Brescia and Udine (Corriere della Sera, July 31, 2005).
