great many surprises for lovers of nature and art, boasting

statues and paintings dotted all across the region, from the plains
south of the city to the foothills of the Alps in the north.The
many marvelous places that one will discover through the eyes of
this well-loved art critic include the Romanesque basilica of San
Pietro al Monte perched high on a mountainside; the fabulous
marquetry designs by Lorenzo Lotto in Bergamo Cathedral; the
prehistoric rock etchings in the Valcamonica; Mario Botta's
stunning Santa Maria degli Angeli chapel on Monte Tamaro; the
eighteenth-century villa of Balbianello on Lake Como; and, not
least, the Romanesque church of San Michele in Pavia.
