While it has taken on the appearance of an industrialized and technologically advanced area, Lombardy has been careful to respect its environment, preserving a natural patrimony of great interest. 

Set between the mountain range of the Alps and the flow of the Po river, the region alternates ample expanses of the Padana Plain with charming glimpses of Alpine views, passing through the characteristic mid-mountain valleys. Green is the prevailing colour, characterising above all parks and nature reserves, which cover over 20% of the entire Lombard territory. A part of the Stelvio National Park, the largest in Europe, also falls within Lombardy.

The region is also graced by the beauty of the areas surrounding Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como, with enchanting scenery that attracts a great number of tourists.
