The full set of photos from our 2004 trip to the Chianti region, including shopping in Greve and at Falorni.
Another day trip in the Lake Como region, to a small mountain town called Introbio. Of “particular interest,” as Italian tourism guides say, is Villa Migliavacca. According to the sign: “Built in the 1920s for the Milanese Antonio Migliavacca, pioneer in advancing tourism in Valsassina, it is the work of architect Bottoli, also Milanese. The construction, in neo-Medieval style, is scenically placed in the large garden. It is now the seat of the township and Mountain Community of Introbio.”
One beautiful day in March, Enrico and I went up to Erve, a village quite close to where we live in Lecco – as the crow flies. But we had to drive, and then hike. I’m not much of a hiker, so we only walked for about an hour, but that was plenty of time to take photos (and also some video, but I haven’t done anything with that yet).
From our visit to Bergamo and its historic villas.
