Italian Lakes Footprint Travel Guides

This region, steeped in history and charm, is one of the most photogenic areas of Italy. Milan may be the fashion capital of the world, but this region's beauty is more than skin deep. Superb industrial design is intrinsic, and the cuisine has an earthiness extending from humble polenta to hearty osso bucco and to the region's understated wines and cheeses. Only a short trip from Milan, the turquoise lakes boast majestic castles and elegant villas reflected in the mirror-like surfaces, offset by the mountains where northern Italy's adrenaline junkies and young jetsetters make the ski slopes their playground.
