History
The "Collegio Quartier Novo" hall of residence is located in the heart of the town of Cremona and was created as a result of the radical restructuring of a building dating back to the 1600s, for years used as Habsburg barracks. The actual naming of the hall of residence testifies the original purpose of the building.
