THE LAND OF TOURISM TEXT Barbara Mazzali Delegate for Tourism, Fashion and Marketing for the Lombardy Region

D

ear Guest, As you visit some of the places in the 12 provinces of Lombardy, you’ll notice that there’s a common thread running through all the areas and products of our region, an extraordinary combination of tradition and innovation. From fashion to design, culture to art, craftsmanship to food, Lombardy is packed with excellent products, which we have brought together in the brand Lombardia Style. It’s an invitation to a experience in a land of success stories such as Milan, the global capital of fashion and design, the beautiful lakes, and our mountains, which in 2026 will host the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympics. What will you see? All the colours of Lombardy, from the blue of the lakes to the white of the snowy

BARBARA MAZZALI

‘You will discover cities of art and enchanting villages’

mountains, the green of vineyards and lush gardens, the purple of gorgeous frescoes in palaces, churches and stately homes, and the brown of castles and villages where time stands still. And all marked by the rhythm of modernity,

which in Lombardy sheds unparalleled light on historical attractions, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Such as the rock drawings of Valcamonica, the Stradivarius violins of Cremona, and the key Renaissance cities of Mantua and Sabbioneta. If you come here during the Jubilee of 2025, we’ll advise you on the best itineraries. What’s more, Lombardy is the perfect place for green tourism and sport, and it’s no accident that our region will provide the stage for the 2026 Olympics. Lombardy offers unforgettable food and wine experiences too, from the wines of Franciacorta, the Oltrepò Pavese and Valtellina to our local food specialities. I could tell you much more, but you’ll discover it for yourself on your trip… following the trail of Lombardia Style.

CITY

THE STORY OF THE DEVIL IN PORTA ROMANA We find out what lies behind the well-known legend

A

stone’s throw from Milan Cathedral stands Palazzo Acerbi, which according to legend was home in the 17th century to Ludovico Acerbi, universally known at the time as the devil of Milan.

To learn his story, we need to go back in time to 1630 when plague devastated the city. Given the circumstances, no one was in the mood for celebrating, but in a palace at Corso di Porta Romana 3 there were plenty of banquets and parties, organised by the man himself… Ludovico Acerbi. He was a marquis from a wealthy family in Cisterna, and he bought the entire building and hosted his parties there. Physically he was said to be neither tall nor short, with a thick beard, neither fair nor dark, neither fat nor thin.They also say that of all the guests invited to the palace, none caught the plague. Maybe

they all sold their souls to the devil? And there’s one more curious fact about the building: if you look up, you’ll see a cannonball stuck in the wall. It was fired by the Austrian army against the rebellious Milanese during the famous Five Days insurrection in March 1848.

And, what a coincidence, it has stayed there, in the very house where the devil once lived.

Could it be fate?

lways at the forefront of fashion and design, today’s Milan is also a major tourist destination, thanks to its extraordinary monuments and fascinating urban structure. Of all its many merits, a special place goes to the city’s squares, custodians of beauty and history just waiting to be known and admired. Taking a tour of Milan’s squares means discovering famous or less-known places that deserve to be seen and talked about, at least once in a lifetime. We discover the most beautiful and unusual.

PIAZZA DEL DUOMO, PIAZZA DEI MERCANTI, PIAZZA AFFARI In the very heart of the city, the most famous square of all is Piazza del Duomo, home to the magnificent cathedral and the stunning Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. But barely a stone’s throw away there’s another slice of Milanese history in the porticoes of Piazza dei Mercanti. This small and graceful square was built in the 13th century and is one of the oldest places in Milan,

originally a hub for meeting and trade. The medieval atmosphere persists in the distinctive colours and architectural style, which catch the eye of visitors as if time has stood still. Meanwhile, Piazza Affari, also near the cathedral, is a symbol of the Italian economy and financial dealings, today known for the Milan Stock Exchange and Maurizio Cattelan’s famous L.O.V.E. sculpture.

PIAZZA SAN SEPOLCRO Not far from the cathedral, Piazza San Sepolcro is a secret treasure chest of art and history: it’s home to the church of San Sepolcro, whose thousand-year story overlaps with the Crusades. Built in the year 1000, the church has been part of the Ambrosiana complex since 1928. The most exquisite spot is the Crypt, with its floor of large marble slabs taken from the 4th century Roman forum. Unfortunately it’s only accessible on guided tours. The church is open Monday to Friday.

PIAZZA FILIPPO MEDA CONTAINS AN EXTRAORDINARY SCULPTURE

BY ARNOLDO POMODORO PIAZZA FILIPPO MEDA A short walk from San Babila and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and close to the Fashion Quadrilateral, this square contains an extraordinary sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro in the form of a disc-shaped sun.

It’s called Sole, or Grande Disco, and it plays on the contrast between the bronze of the statue and the green of the lawn where it stands. Created in 1980, the sculpture is surrounded by grand buildings with porticoes and elegant arches. The square is also home to Casa Hoepli, the headquarters of the celebrated bookstore and publisher, in a gorgeous 50s-style building.

PIAZZA DUSE The area known as the Quadrilateral of Silence is an oasis of peace and quiet in the heart of Milan, a Liberty-style residential neighbourhood to the east of Corso Venezia.

We’re definitely off the beaten tourist trail here, as we stroll among elegant streets punctuated with secret gardens and facades by illustrious 34

architects, enjoying the unusual silence. Passing under Piero Portaluppi’s great arch, we come to the delightful Piazza Eleonora Duse, blooming with roses and lawns, and flanked by noble Liberty-style apartment blocks; take Via Cossa to reach the heart of this district.

PIAZZA GAE AULENTI IS THE EXPRESSION OF CONTEPORARY AND MILANESE SPIRIT PIAZZA GAE AULENTI Not far from Porta Garibaldi we come to Piazza Gae Aulenti, symbol of contemporary Milan and ultimate expression of the forward-looking Milanese spirit.

Inaugurated in 2012, the square is circular in shape and avant-garde in style. Forming a backdrop are some of the best-known skyscrapers on Milan’s skyline: the Garib-

aldi Towers, the Bosco Verticale and the Unicredit Tower.

PIAZZA SAN LORENZO Living testimony to Milan’s imperial past, Piazza San Lorenzo just outside Porta Ticinese is a picturesque place to pause and marvel at the 16 magnificent marble columns that provide a scenic frame for the basilica of the same name. Over the centuries the colonnade has become a gathering place in whose shade locals meet for an ad hoc aperitif or simply a chat in good company.

PIAZZA SANT’ALESSANDRO From the church of Sant’Eustorgio on Corso di Porta Ticinese, there’s a route that allows visitors to trace the city’s thousand-plus-year story through some of the most emblematic religious buildings in Milan’s Christian and architectural history. Slightly off the route in Piazza Sant’Alessandro stands the eponymous church, whose interior conceals a veritable array of important Lombard artists from the 17th and 18th centuries, including Camillo Procaccini and Daniele Crespi.

IS A MEDITERRANEAN PARADISE

he seagulls take flight as the bells of the Church of San Martino ring out while the sun rises over Castello Brown, which protects the bay of Portofino. We are in one of the world’s most picturesque seaside villages, where the scent of home baked bread and focaccia wafts through the air and the pace is slower. If you can enjoy peace and quiet, nature and beauty at its most authentic here out of season, during the summer swimming in the sea and boat getaways have always made it one of Italy’s most glamorous destinations. Here are the things not to miss.

THE OLD VILLAGE A parade of houses like a stage set encircling the little harbour, in warm shades of amber, ochre and green. We are in Liguria, on the Riviera di Levante, and this delightful bay set between the Gulf of Tigullio and the Portofino Regional Park, always a favourite destination for enter-

tainment and nightlife, every year attracts Italian and foreign visitors, lovers of sailing holidays, luxury, but also history and natural beauty.

Among the sights to visit are the Oratory of Santa Maria Assunta, a splendid example of Ligurian Gothic, the Church of San Martino and the Church of San Giorgio which can be reached by taking a walk up to headland where it stands, beyond which are also Castello Brown and the Punta di Capo lighthouse, from where you can enjoy unforgettable sunsets over the Gulf. In the old village of Portofino there is the Church dedicated to Santo Martin of Tours, dating back to the 12th century, in Lombard Romanesque style, as is the Church of San Giorgio.

A JOURNEY INTO EXCELLENCE Xsupercars: when passion meets Italian beauty

X

supercars was launched in the heart of Italy as the shared dream and vision of two extraordinary men, Giuliano D’Alterio and Giorgio Avola. An entrepreneurial adventure inspired by a deep passion for classic and sports cars and by the immense beauty only Italy can offer. Giuliano D’Alterio, firmly rooted in the fertile soil of classic and sports car racing, began his journey in California, where he established a transport company that is today one of the most valuable in America for handling icons, such as Ferrari and Tesla. Despite its success overseas, the lure of Italy was too strong to ignore. At the same time, Giorgio Avola, Olympic fencing gold medalist and international champion, completed the picture with his high standard manageri-

al experience and passion for supercars. Together they have created something unique, precisely an experience designed to enhance the beauty of supercars and the Italian landscapes. The intent was clear, they wanted to create exciting itineraries by combining the adrenaline of sports driving with the discovery of cultural and food and wine routes.

The golden logo, inspired by Giorgio’s Olympic medal, symbolizes the excellence they strive for in every aspect of their service. Xsupercars does not merely provide a luxury car rental service: it offers a journey into Italian magic. Aboard of Ferrari and Lamborghini hypercars, customers can immerse themselves in an unparalleled experience, exploring the winding roads of Tuscany, the breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast or the vineyards

of the Langhe. Each itinerary becomes a work of art, carefully crafted down to the smallest detail to ensure the perfect balance of adventure, luxury and pleasure. Xsupercars goes beyond luxury driving: It plans on creating a community of enthusiasts who share a love for luxury motoring by organizing exclusive events in unique locations. Dedication to service, passion for cars, love for Italy and focus on excellence are its founding pillars. Exclusivity, customization and a team of experts for unique trips that leave their mark. With Xsupercars, Giuliano D’Alterio and Giorgio Avola did not merely create a company, they gave life to a dream, allowing anybody to discover the magic of Italy by experiencing the thrill of luxury driving. A story of passion, commitment, and beauty which is steadily evolving day by day.
