From the Back Cover:

Rich and luxuriant Lombardy, perching contentedly at the foot of the Alps in Italy's northwest corner, has countless charms: majestic glaciers overlooking alpine cottages, woods and pastures, and serene lakes fringed with elegant old villas. At its heart is the buzzing fashion metropolis of Milan, with its glittering nightlife and exclusive boutiques, the famous La Scala opera house and an art hoard which includes Leonardo da Vinci's extraordinary Last Supper. This classic Cadogan guide also reveals the nearby treasures of the cities of the Lombard Plain - Mantua, Pavia and Cremona, home of the Stradivarius - before taking you further afield, to the delights of the Valtellina region, with its famous red wine, and the Magnifica Terra of the rugged Stelvio National Park, a skier's paradise.
This guide contains practical travel advice; over 300 hand-picked places to stay; over 250 restaurants, bars & cafes; 18 maps & site plans; color touring map section; stunning color photography; festivals, vineyards and lake cruises.
