|
The region of Lombardy stretches from the Alps on the border with Schwizerland, down through the romantic lakes of Como and Maggiore to the broad, flat plain of River Po. It is an area of lakeside villas with azalea-filled gardens, of wealthy towns with imposing palazzo and highly decorated churches, and of efficient modern industry and large-scale agriculture, the financial heart of Italy. At its centre stands Milan, the style-conscious capital of Lombardy.

MilanThe centre of fashion, business and finance, Milan has a bustling, businesslike feel about it. It is smart rather than attractive- a city of wealth as opposed to imagination and heartland of Italian economy. To the Goths, who took it over from the Romans, it was called “Mailand”, the land of May, a place of warmth and inspiration, It has long been an important trading centre at the junction of transalpine routs, and a proze of powerful dynasties. Today it is the best place to see Italy at its most cosmopolitan and stylish.
