MILAN & Lombardy Transfers And Day Tours

This fairy-tale medieval village is considered one of Italy's most beautiful hilltop towns, with only a few residents. Taking the path under the arch that leads into Cornello dei Tasso (BG) is a step back in time to the end of the Middle Ages. We can escort you to this town with an English-speaking driver and a luxury car.

Sacro Monte Varese, Unesco site, is about a few kilometers away. The site consists of the Holy Road and the Sanctuary. With its 14 chapels, the Holy Road stretches up the mountain to the small village of Santa Maria del Monte and ends at the Sanctuary of the Virgin. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The Pizzighettone circle of walls is the only one almost intact in Cremona and one of the most impressive in Lombardy. Founded at the beginning of the Renaissance and continuously perfected, both in the succession of internal or underground walkways, in the articulated composition of the wall volumes and in the location of the access doors, it serves as a rare example of military architecture that is an undeniable tourist attraction.

Gorgonzola is the birthplace of blue cheese with a distinctive smell. According to legend, it all began with a love story. A dairy worker in 879 AD was so eager to meet his lover that he forgot to finish his work and left the cheese pot outside. Instead of throwing away the almost rotten curd the next morning, he added a fresh layer on top. Between them, two veins of mold appeared, which resembled parsley. 

In Lombardy and Piedmont Gorgonzola spread steadily. Thus, the area defined by the Decrees of 1955 and 1977 was already established as an area of production and maturation of Gorgonzola cheese, whose designation was at that point protected.

Pavia is located on the left bank of the Ticino River, above its junction with the Po, 20 miles (32 km) south of Milan, with which it is connected via the Naviglio di Pavia (Pavia Canal). Today, it is the largest archaeological site in Lombardy protected by UNESCO. There is a Roman amphitheater, a sort of mini Coliseum, as well as a temple, ancient columns, and thermal baths.

In the past, Franciacorta was a monastic estate whose monks enjoyed various privileges, including the privilege of drinking divine barrels. This prestigious winemaking region is today renowned for its sparkling "brut" wines, the Italian version of champagne.
