PAVIA, a beautiful medieval town

The charming medieval town of Pavia is the capital of the homonymous province in the Lombardy region. Here you will find a world of culture, history, art and tradition...

The Ticinum, today called Pavia, although it had been an important Roman center during the ancient Empire, it was only during the Middle Ages that it knew an expressive development. The ancient Lombard Papia was the capital of the mediam kingdom.

There are numerous places of great tourist interest in this city, among which I recommend: the Basilica of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro (founded by the Lombards, but rebuilt in the twelfth century); the Visconti Castle (built by the will of Galeazzo II Visconti); the Palace of the University of Pavia (founded in 1361, one of the oldest universities in the Italy); the Duomo (Renaissance).

I recommend a tour around the city and its beautiful historic streets and stop for a pizza in the many restaurants that are there... Don't forget the covered bridge, the most modern version of the bridge erected in the 14th, unfortunately, destroyed during World War II. to

Lodi — a historic Lombard town

I am Piedmontese by adoption, but I find myself better in Milan rather than in Turin. Milan, thanks to the connections, is also an excellent starting point for visiting the corners of Lombardy. If you feel tired of the chaos and traffic in Milan, just take the train that will take you to Lodi in half an hour.
Lodi is a beautiful city located in the Po Valley.

The Adda River laps it, whose presence is strongly felt in Lodi. Not only does it contribute to the climate, but with river pebbles the squares and streets of the historic center are covered. The heart of Lodi is Piazza Maggiore (officially called Piazza della Vittoria) where all the main monuments of the city among which it is located meet obviously the Cathedral.

Built in the Middle Ages and remodeled in the Renaissance period, it preserves numerous frescoes and relics of San Bassiano, patron saint and first bishop of the city. Lodi is rich in churches: Tempio dell'Incoronata, Church of San Francesco, Church of San Lorenzo and many others are all noteworthy.

Another attraction of Lodi constitute the ceramics that have been produced since the Middle Ages. Their rich collection of the 15th-17th centuries can be admired in the civic museum. The shops and workshops where you can buy artistic ceramics are also numerous today.

You can take advantage of a city tour for a visit to the shops and grab a small souvenir as a memory of this nice Lombard town.

Lodi, historic city of Lombardy

Piazza Duomo

The city of Lodi is located south of Milan along the Adda River in the Po Valley.

It was founded by the Celts and then became Roman under the name Laus Pompea. After the fall of the Holy Roman Empire and the barbarian invasions he did not want to submit to Milan that wanted to take over the lands and waters of Mediterranean Lombardy.

At the end of violent and bloody conflicts the city was completely destroyed. Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, who struggled to dominate the rebellious Po cities, had the city rebuilt to subscribe the Lodigians and seek their loyalty.

In 1220, Lodi, together with Milan, dug an irrigation channel that came out of the Adda north of Lodi and returned south of the city and with many rodges and collectors, reclaimed the marshy terrain in a fertile territory and suitable for crops and farms. This work was absolutely unique in the Middle Ages and still works, a sign of the extraordinary capacity for hydraulic engineering.

Among the monuments to visit you will find the Duomo, whose construction began in 1160 and ended in the fourteenth century. The facade with lions and sculptures flanked by the imposing bell tower and the interior is composed of three richly frescoed naves.

The Church of the Incoronata is also very beautiful, all richly decorated in blue or gold and with an octagonal plan. The territory of Lodigiano is known as a land of goodness, in fact it produces excellent Grana Lodigiano and how to forget the fantastic traditional desserts such as tortoniata based on short pastry and lots of butter!
