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.
