From Milan to the Northern Lakes, Luxury and Romance
As a capital of fashion, Milan is a favorite destination for lovers of art and culture. Galleries and luxury stores exhibit their treasures in the shadow of the spires, turrets and statues of the Duomo, the magnificent cathedral. Milan, the city lighthouse that welcomed the Universal Expo 2015. Towards the north, silver-tinted lakes. With its camellia and oleander-filled gardens and its "floating" palaces, this Italy is timeless. Como, Lugano and Orta Lakes rival one another in romantic beauty. The shores of Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano are shared between Italy and Switzerland. Elegance knows no border.
