Lombardy

A visual guide to the best of Lombardy, one of the northernmost regions of Italy bordering with Switzerland, illustrated with some 280 photos. All 12 provinces making up Lombardy are dealt with but more space, and photos, are given to Milan, the regional capital, and Lake Como, the two prime attractions. Just as interesting are the cities of Bergamo and Mantua with their ancient churches, palaces and art galleries. Pavia has one of the oldest universities in Italy, Monza-Brianza has the largest fenced park in Europe. Sondrio and its mountains, vineyards, ski resorts draw many. Cremona is famed for its violin-making tradition, Varese for its lakes, landscaped villas and Unesco listed Sacro Monte, a series of chapels pilgrims, and tourists, have trailed since 17th century
