In the North of Italy, in the heart of Europe

Situated in the North of Italy, in the heart of the most prosperous part of Europe, Lombardy represents a bridge to the Mediterranean. It is located in a strategic position, along the main route linking eastern and western Europe. A population of nearly 10 million inhabitants, distributed over an area of approx. 24,000 square kilometres, makes this region in many ways similar to a nation in its own right.
