Lombardy is a dynamic region that embraces the present and looks to the future while preserving an extraordinary heritage of art and nature. Known for its industry and finance, this captivating region also offers artistic treasures and breathtaking landscapes, from picturesque lakes to majestic mountains like Valcamonica and Valtellina.
Spanning a vast territory from the Alps to the Po Valley, Lombardy offers a variety of landscapes, blending cities of art with historic villages. Nicknamed the "Region of the Lakes," it boasts more than 15 stunning bodies of water, including Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, and Lake Iseo.
Lombardy’s flavors and traditions reflect its rich history, shaped by centuries of cultural influences. A journey of discovery here begins naturally in Milan, home to iconic landmarks such as the magnificent Cathedral of Milan and the Sforzesco Castle, built by the lords of the city in the 15th century. The city also houses one of Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest masterpieces, The Last Supper, located in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
Beyond Milan, Bergamo, perched on a hill and enclosed by ancient walls, features a medieval center filled with historical monuments. Meanwhile, Mantua, built on a serene bend of the Mincio River, invites exploration with its charming squares and intimate atmosphere.
Lombardy: A Culinary and Wine Paradise
Lombardy’s rich gastronomy is a testament to its diversity, offering delights from olive oil to wine, truffles to salami, and an impressive array of PDO cheeses. The olive oil produced around Lake Garda, with its delicate flavor, stands as one of the region’s prized treasures, thanks to the area’s unique microclimate.
In Franciacorta, the rolling hills are adorned with rows of Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay vines. These grapes create the region’s iconic sparkling wines—Bianco, Satèn, and Rosé. A toast with Franciacorta’s elegant, fresh bubbles is a meditative experience, especially when enjoyed in historic settings like the Convent of the Madonna della Neve in Adro or the Convent of the Annunciata in Rovato, where monks craft their own Franciacorta.
The Alto Mantovano region is renowned for its truffles, including the rare Tuber Magnatum Pico, the most prized variety. These aromatic gems thrive in the sandy, alluvial soils of the Truffle Valley, offering an unparalleled sensory experience.
Cheese lovers will find paradise in Lombardy, which produces the highest number of PDO cheeses in Italy—12 in total. From Bitto and Casera in Valtellina to Silter in Val Camonica, and from Taleggio to Gorgonzola, the region’s cheeses reflect its rich culinary traditions.
