Lombardy, home to Italy’s fashion and finance capital, Milan, is also known for its hearty cuisine.
Risotto alla Milanese is a beloved dish made with saffron-infused Arborio rice, butter, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, often served alongside ossobuco, a braised veal shank. Another regional specialty is polenta, a creamy cornmeal dish served with a variety of accompaniments, from mushrooms to braised meats.
The lakes in the Dolomites are more than just bodies of water; they are mirrors reflecting the sublime beauty of the mountains, forests, and skies, transforming with the light of each passing hour into myriad shades of magic.
