CULTURAL ITINERARIES

Ideas to discover a rich territory. Starting with the symbol of Pianura Padana, the Po river, which offers the chance to visit Pavia, Piacenza, and Cremona in a unique way, namely on one of the many boats that sail through natural reserves and suggestive villages. Pavia is also part, with Brescia and Monza, of an itinerary that follows the trail of the Lombards, the people who created beautiful architectures that today are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Follow the path of history by visiting palaces and castles of kings and queens, dukes and marquises, or the elegant villas of important families from the Middle Ages to the Baroque age, through the Renaissance period. All through Pavia, Monza, Piacenza, Bergamo, Parma, Modena, and Reggio Emilia.
