The
richest, most highly developed and most densely populated
region of Italy. And it is precisely for this that it is one
of most Lombardiasurprising and unexpected for the tourist
who arrives there knowing little of its historic, architectural,
artistic and natural heritage. Let us take Milan, the great
city of industry and commerce. Here everything that is modern
and advanced finds its home: from technological innovation
to fashion, from advertising to design, from ways of life
to political "experiments". 
Milan
sets the trend. Yet, beneath its thick aspect of a dynamic
and modern metropolis projected towards the future, Milan
conceals extraordinary architectural and artistic treasures.
There is only the embarrassment of choice: the Duomo, the
Castello Sforzesco, the La Scala theatre and the Brera picture
gallery. And in the rest of Lombardy there are many splendid
natural landscapes (the lakes, the Stelvio national park),
and monuments and works of art of considerable value. At Monza,
Varese, Como, Bergamo, Brescia, Lodi, Cremona, and Pavia,
every era has made its cultural and artistic mark: in the
urban structures, in the churches, in the civic buildings.
>From the Romanesque to the Gothic, from the Renaissance
to the Baroque, up to the most daring and innovative architectural
and artistic solutions of the modern and contemporary eras:
Lombardy boasts an impressive cultural and artistic heritage.
And many people have yet to discover all this.
