I've been many times in this region, especially for work and I have also lived a couple of months.
Despite this I can not claim to know Milan too well. Obviously I saw the cathedral, I walked through the courses, I have been the trade fair and also the Museum of Natural Science, but nothing more. The same thing can I put in Monza where I was also entering multiple times in the large city park. But many are the towns of that area that I attended in the autumn of '88 also because I have lived between Inzaghi and Cassano d'Adda thing that allowed me to see a couple of times at Treviglio, Italy, the Mini and the Sanctuary of Caravaggio. But here we are already beyond the Adda in Bergamo and Bergamo has an old town perched on a hill that is very interesting for its monuments. In the Province as a child I visited twice Sotto il Monte, the birthplace of Pope John XXIII and of those trips I was left with the memory of a photo beneath the bronze statue of the saint and his meeting with his brother, who shook hands with all .
I was a kid during my visit to Brescia to keep in mind while in the Province have been a couple of times in Sirmione, a pretty lakeside town situated on a peninsula that juts out from the center of the southern coast of Lake Garda. The town as well as being pleasant, the remains of Roman baths.
Lake Como Italy and Lombardy share with Switzerland, I visited Lecco and its lake connected to the memory of "The Betrothed" by Alessandro Manzoni but Bellagio resort with exceptional hotels like the Villa d'Este On the same Lake Como for me it was just a place of transit to the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. Belongs to Italy and Lombardy also Champion of Italy, an enclave entirely surrounded by Swiss territory on the coast of Lake Lugano. There have been a couple of times but does not present anything particularly interesting if not a casino.
Province of Varese, where I went to work, I saw only sports facilities except for Lake Gavirate.
Instead rather well visited Mantua with its cathedral and the Palazzo dei Gonzaga especially with beautiful paintings by Mantegna. I stayed in the Province in Goito and passed close to the walls of Sabbioneta. Even in Lodi have been repeatedly visiting the center as well as to Pavia, where I visited the square with the Cathedral and the place where years ago the tower collapsed. From here a few km you reach the splendid Certosa, a masterpiece of medieval art, visited with the guidance of a monk of the place.
Surely Lombardy is a region to be explored.
