Lombardy

The Region includes the various major Italian Lakes ( some on Lombardy/ Piedmont border)  : Part of Lago Maggiore, Lago di Como and the south  shore of Lago di Garda

The regional capital is Milan which  can boast several examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture .

My Suggestions:

 In Milan to visit the Cathedral ( Duomo) , The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, www.cenacolovinciano.it (the Dominican Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie which houses  the fresco is Unesco World Heritage Site),   The Sforza Castle  and the Scala Theatre ( Opera House) ;  Vigevano with its beautiful Ducal Square ; The upper town of Bergamo “a truly historic and artistic jewel” ; Mantua ( Unesco World Heritage site)    famous for the Gonzaga Palace ( Ducal Palace) ; and, of course the lakes ( Maggiore, Como and Garda) .
