Understand

Lombardy is the economic engine of Italy. Because of this, it is also the most populated region in the country. Milan It is today the economic capital of Italy and where many of its inhabitants from more depressed areas go to look for work. Its landscape is darker and more industrial than the rest of Italy, and for this reason it does not enjoy great importance in terms of tourism, despite having beauties such as its cathedral or the famous painting of Leonardo da Vinci "The Last Supper". This contrasts with other towns or regions of his, such as the upper city of Bergamo, Mantua or the Lake Como, famous for its spectacular landscapes and for its long history and culture.

As if that weren't enough, Lombardy is also the region with the highest number (9) of UNESCO world heritage sites in Italy.[1].

To eat

The traditional dish of Lombardy, as well as part of northern Italy, is the polenta.

Drink and go out

One way out of the Italians of this region, and of all the Italian north, is to go out to make the aperitif in the afternoon (7-8 in the afternoon), with the spritz as a primary drink. The aperitif consists of ordering a drink in one of the bars that offer it, and that will give us the right to serve ourselves food from one of the trays that they have for that purpose. It is usually not very elaborate food, such as pasta, couscous, pieces of pizza, etc., but it is no less grateful for that.
