thank you very much

Are you trying to count the number of times cremona etc appears, or to
put the word cremona in another cell, or to highlight the cell? Is your
data single town names , or town names inside a set of other words?

Perhaps try replacing FIND with SEARCH in your formula.
FIND is case-sensitive while SEARCH is not

Another way to try ..

Let's say the names: Cremona, Spatacco, etc are listed down in X1:X20

Then we could put in say, E2's formula bar
and array-enter the formula (i.e. press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):
=IF(D2="","",INDEX($K$1:$K$20,MATCH(1,ISNUMBER(SEA RCH($K$1:$K$20,D2))*($K$1:
$K$20<""),0)))
and copy E2 down as far as required

This may accomplish the same results in a slightly neater way
(if I've read your intent correctly)

Note: You'd need to change the commas in the formula
to semicolons ";" to suit your Excel language

Typo in the line, sorry:
... the names: Cremona, Spatacco, etc are listed down in X1:X20

The names are assumed in K1:K20
