LOMBARDY
Lombardy is one of Italy’s largest regions, lies in
the north of the country, sharing a border with Switzerland.
Stretching from the Alps to the lowlands of the Po Valley,
it is home to a wide range of landscapes, including the breathtaking
mountain chain with the Valchiavenna, Valtellina and Camonica
Valley.
The expansive rolling hills of the region encompass the distinctive
Franciacorta area, famous for its vineyards and wine production.
Then of course there is the charm of the great lakes, attracting
visitors to Sirmione and other well known destinations dotted
along the west side of Lake Garda, while Lake Como and Lake
Maggiore are no less beautiful, surrounded as they are by
stately homes, parks and picturesque small towns.
The Po Valley lowlands are where Arborio, Carnaroli and Vialone
Nano rices are grown.
Lombardy’s food specialities range from the delicious
saffron risotto to the bread crumbed cutlet called Cotoletta
Milanese. Among the region’s most celebrated and delicious
cheeses there are Gorgonzola, from the town of the same name,
Mascarpone, the unpasteurised Lodigiano, parmesan-style Grana,
Robiola soft cheese and Bel Paese. Milan’s panettone
is renowned worldwide, as too is the almond flavoured Amaretto
liqueur from Saronno.
