Things to see and do Lombardy

The monastery of Saint-François was the main religious complex of medieval Bergamo. Built between the th and th centuries, two beautiful cloisters are still visible today: the first says delle ark, because it retains a dozen funeral monuments intended to accommodate tombs of the main families of the city; from the second "well", you have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. The ensemble today hosts the historic Museum of the city.

If the prices of the Montenapoleone street are not adapted to the size of your wallet, not even in a period of balances, you can break up and report to you a memory of the Italian fashion purchased in via Torino. There are some of the most diverse stores including the French brands (Fnac, Celio, etc.). Not far from Torino is the Pinacothèque Ambrosiana, considered one of Italy's richest and one of the most beautiful of Italy. She houses works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphaël (the Athens School outline), Caravaggio (the Dead Nature), Tiziano…

The Province of Brescia has set up a network of reception and information offices, which work in collaboration with the municipalities and local companies and associations involved in tourism. In Sirmione, for example, there are two InfoPoints, one of which deals specifically with the hotel offer. It also provides information about thermal baths, heritage tours, excursions to natural parks (Monte Baldo, Alto Garda Bresciano), recreational activities (Gardaland, Aquapark Canevaworld), wine and food, and the agenda of cultural events.

The axis of Vittorio Vittorio gallery, which leaves from piazza del Duomo, leads directly to piazza della Scala. This was Stendhal's favourite walk, which was disait in mind and in mind. At the exit of the gallery, you arrive at La Scala Square where the Scala theatre, the Temple of lyrical and classical music, rises. At the left of the theatre is the Scala Museum, where you can keep collections of costumes and documents relating to lyrical music. Just opposite La Scala, you can find the Palazzo Marino, the most Beautiful Hotel in the city, which is now the seat of the town hall.

The statue in front of the palace is that of Leonardo da Vinci, who lived for nearly twenty years in the court of Ludovico il Moro.

Gothic church, it houses th century frescoes attributed to Tommaso da Modena.

This museum is located in the old orphanage of Milan, the Martinitt, located in the Lambrate district (in the suburbs of Milan). More than 2 000 objects, rudimentary or more sophisticated, made in the most diverse materials, make the toy history, from the th century to the present. The museum's curiosity is the rebuilding of the school class that makes the subject of one of the favourite books of Italian children, Cuore, of Amicis de Amicis. A library and educational and entertaining laboratories also allow your children to develop their imagination. Finally, a projection room offers animated films and cartoons… but only in Italian.

Milan also has its own little Chinatown: along Via Paolo Sarpi, clothing shops and Asian restaurants follow one after the other. At the beginning of the year, there is no shortage of activities on the occasion of the Chinese New Year.
