Heading to Cremona for the game? Here's how to get to the Zini without ending up in the wrong section
Anyone who loves soccer knows this: the stands matter.
And even though there won't be many of those roads, they'll take you right there—to the curve that really matters to you: the one in the visitors' section of Zini Stadium.
The route from downtown Cremona to the stadium is simple, straightforward, and quite picturesque: it winds through cobblestone streets, past elegant arcades, with glimpses of medieval towers and the aroma of coffee.
No complicated streets, no hesitation at the intersection: just a pleasant stroll through town… while waiting for the kickoff.

A Bit of Grigiorossa History
Cremonese, our glorious “Grigiorossi,” was founded in 1903 in a local tavern—the perfect place to combine a passion for sports with a spirit of camaraderie. After decades of waiting and playing in the lower leagues, the team made its first return to Serie A in the 1983–84 season. From then on, it’s been an exciting roller-coaster ride.
In the 1990s, under the leadership of Gigi Simoni, Cremo enjoyed its golden age: promotion to Serie A in 1992–93, an Anglo-Italian Cup victory at Wembley, and three consecutive seasons in the top flight, including two historic back-to-back escapes from relegation. Not bad for a “small” club with a big heart.
More recently: promotion to Serie A in 2022, relegation the following year, a lost playoff final against Venezia… and finally, in June 2025, a 3-2 victory over Spezia that brought the team back among the big clubs.
And this year, on paper, it’s been an excellent transfer campaign, with the icing on the cake: Jamie Vardy, the former Leicester player and Premier League icon, has actually signed with Cremo. An official presentation, the No. 9 jersey, and a stadium in a frenzy. Cremona is ready.
The Giovanni Zini Stadium
The Giovanni Zini Stadium, named after the Grigiorosso goalkeeper who fell in World War I, was inaugurated on November 2, 1919. For a time, it was also known as the Motovelodromo, thanks to the cycling track added in 1922 and later dismantled after a violent cyclone in 1927. Today, it seats approximately 16,000 spectators and is one of the city’s most iconic sporting landmarks.

Starting point: The tour begins at Via Sofonisba Anguissola 3, right in the heart of the city. The Duomo, the Violin Museum, and the Torrazzo are just a stone's throw away.
Route: a walk of about 10–15 minutes, perfect for anyone who wants to soak up the city’s atmosphere, perhaps while sipping a coffee or window-shopping under the arcades.
Getting to the stadium: The visitors’ section is located in the Curva Nord, on the Via Persico side. From Anguissola Rooms, you can easily walk there without any unnecessary detours.
Advantages: no traffic, no waiting—just a nice stroll through the city with the growing roar of the stadium chants in the background.
In short, if you're planning to come to Cremona to cheer on your team, we look forward to seeing you at Anguissola Rooms.
With comfortable rooms, flexible check-in, parking, and maybe even a couple of recommendations on where to eat well (before or after the game).
The only condition? Let us cheer for Cremo in peace… but we won’t hold it against you.
