Northern Italy

Northern Italy is an extremely varied territory, whose landscapes include the mountainous zones of the Alps and the Apennines, the steep shores of the Ligurian Tyrrhenian Sea and the grand beaches of the Adriatic, the Padana Plains, the zone of the most extensive flatlands in Italy, the sweet hills of Veneto, and the zones of Piedmont and Lombardia, the area of the large Lakes with seaside resorts, archaeological parks, spectacular gardens, great cities of art such as Venice, production centers which are also rich in art such as Milan, Turin, Bologna, port cities such as Genoa and Trieste, fascinating cities of art of mid- and small dimensions, castles, fortresses, abbeys, villas....
Apart from being famous for its centers of art, culture, and religion, the zone is also very rich in typical products, both wine and food. In fact, in Piedmont you will find very famous red wines such as the noble Barolo, Barbera, Grignolino, Dolcetto, Gattinara, Nebbiolo, white wines such as Cortese, Chardonnay Pinot, dessert wines like Asti, Moscato d'Asti, Brachetto Malvasia, to only mention a few; in Veneto there is a large variety of white wines in the Euganei Hills, Iberici Hills, and excellent red wines in Veronese, such as the Bardolino or the Soave, as always, only to mention a few.
Both food-and-wine itineraries are continually organized, which can be added to other ones of characteristic cultural interest.
The entire area is embraced by characteristic rural accommodations, often near cities of art; with minimum organization, you can spend vacations which unite the advantages of the cities with those of the countryside.
