Cremona is pretty far on the OTHER side of Milano from Arese (but a great 
town and worth a visit especially if you're into stringed instruments or 
agriculture).  My guess is that the train from Cremona to Area would be at 
least a 3 hour trip with a change in Brescia (also worth a visit) and a 
change in Milano.  

You might be able to find bus service out from Milano to Arese; if the 
traffic isn't bad and the fog isn't out, it that should be about a 45 minute 
trip based on my experience.  Other than the factory there isn't much in 
Arese that I know of, but I have heard there is a decent if modest restaurant 
nearby.

How do you say "boondocks" in Italian?
