We then venture into the countryside around Crema and Lodi, concluding our trip in the Oltrep\u00f2 Pavese region, just south of the Po. The route offers a chance to experience the vast Lombard landscape, known for its waterways and traditional farmhouses. This infinitely large valley evokes memories of writer, director and TV presenter Mario Soldati&#8217;s exploration for authentic foods, which marked the beginning of food journalism on television. While these culinary traditions have evolved due to industrial influences, they remain equally dynamic today, thanks to a younger generation dedicated to reviving small businesses, and restaurateurs who are focusing on high-quality local ingredients in a territory with a very rich heritage in terms of its agricultural and meat-processing techniques, not to mention its dairy production, showcased by its flagship product, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.granapadano.it\/en-en\/\">Grana Padano PDO<\/a>. We will also explore charming <em>citt\u00e0 d\u2019arte<\/em> cultural cities, romantic hamlets nestled in the plains and historical residences that welcome the public and offer hospitality and accommodation. We will commence our itinerary in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitdesenzano.it\/en\/\">Desenzano del Garda<\/a>, easily accessible by train, where you can enjoy a picturesque promenade along the waterfront. Designed in the Venetian style, this is the perfect location from which to plan excursions to nearby attractions, including a visit to Sirmione, which features the Grotte di Catullo archaeological complex and Scaliger Castle. There are a couple of excellent wineries here which specialise in the production of Lugana, a white wine made from Turbiana grapes that pairs wonderfully with local fish dishes you can sample, for example, at Ristorante Alla Torre di San Martino della Battaglia. The site is historically significant, as it was the place where the battles were fought that enabled the Piedmontese to conquer Lombardy in 1859. Our next stop is Castiglione delle Stiviere in Upper Mantova which, along with neighbouring Castel Goffredo, is renowned for its production of socks and underwear. Close by is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/castello-di-solimago\/\"><strong>Castello di Solimago<\/strong><\/a>, an ideal spot for a few days of relaxation amidst the Solferino\u2019s morenic hills, which were formed by accumulated glacial debris left behind by ancient glaciers. Six tastefully appointed apartments, renovated according to the principles of bio-architecture, have been renovated in the annexed premises of the patrician residence of 18th-century Palazzo Fattori.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This journey takes us from the Lake Garda area in Brescia to the Po River, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":17314,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[492,564],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lombardia-en","category-territories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lombardy - Exploring Southern Lombardy from Lake Garda to the Po River | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/lombardy-exploring-southern-lombardy-from-lake-garda-to-the-po-river\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lombardy - Exploring Southern Lombardy from Lake Garda to the Po River | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This journey takes us from the Lake Garda area in Brescia to the Po River, [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/lombardy-exploring-southern-lombardy-from-lake-garda-to-the-po-river\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-11-11T22:19:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:14:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22_Varese_Leggiuno_Lago-Maggiore_Eremo-di-Santa-Caterina-del-Sasso.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"933\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/lombardy-exploring-southern-lombardy-from-lake-garda-to-the-po-river\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/lombardy-exploring-southern-lombardy-from-lake-garda-to-the-po-river\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Lombardy &#8211;
