Crema del Pensiero

Ideas at the centre of the stage

Crema del Pensiero is the series of meetings that, at the beginning of summer, transforms the CremArena in Crema into a place for discussion and reflection. Each edition revolves around a theme, addressed by theologians, philosophers, writers, and journalists who engage in dialogue with a large and attentive audience. The initiative is part of the summer programme of CulturaCrema, promoted by the Municipality of Crema, in the province of Cremona.

A different theme each year

The common thread changes from edition to edition, offering a deep insight into major figures and issues of our time. The meetings combine the rigour of thought with the guests' ability to communicate, in a format that has won over a diverse audience of the curious, students, and culture enthusiasts.

Free culture for everyone

One of the distinctive features of Crema del Pensiero is its freeness: the meetings are open to all, without a ticket, in the spirit of accessible culture that characterises the entire city's summer programme. The evocative setting of the CremArena, under the stars, adds charm to evenings dedicated to dialogue and reflection.

Part of Crema's summer

Included in the broader schedule of CulturaCrema, which brings meetings, music, cinema, and theatre to the city between June and October, Crema del Pensiero is now an anticipated event, capable of attracting nationally renowned guests and enlivening the start of Crema's summer with the pleasure of shared ideas.
