Lombardy is the northern most region of central Italy, lying between the Swiss Alps and the River Po. It is flanked on its east side by the Regions of Trentino and Veneto, and on its west by Piemonte.  To its south is the Region of Emilia Romagno. Lombardy has the largest population of any Italian region and is also one of the largest industrial centres of Italy.  Lombardy’s major cities include Brescia, Bergamo, Cremona, Pavia, Como, Mantua, and Monza. They manufacture electrical appliances, textiles, furniture, processed foods, chemicals, and leather. 
Lombardy is also Italy’s leading agricultural area centred on the irrigated plains of the Po River valley, which produce rice, wheat, corn, sugar beet, and fodder crops for beef and dairy cattle.

Local Cuisine
Well known for 'piatti poveri', literally poor or peasant food. Pasta is everywhere in Italy, but here polenta or rice is on the menu the TicinoValley has one of Europe's greatest expanses of rice paddies so risotto is much on the menu.  Pizzocheri are buckwheat noodles flavoured with lamb or rosemary.  Ossobuco is shin of veal, and you will find this in Milan, as you will Panettone cake, and vanilla and lemon flavoured biscotti. Cremona has its pickled fruits, and bollito misto (boiled meat) and La Casoeula (a pork stew of Spanish origin). Wild mushrooms abound and you'll find very good cheeses, with Lombardy producing Mascarpone, Grana Padano and Gorgonzola.
