Valfurva: Webcam - Uzza, Bait de Mighel
Few places in Lombardy have a history as closely tied to life in the high Alps as Valfurva. The Frodolfo runs through this narrow valley, which rises from the Bormio area toward Gavia Pass and the glaciers of the Ortles-Cevedale group. Much of the municipality lies within Stelvio National Park, where forested slopes, hay meadows and scattered hamlets mark the transition between the settled valley floor and higher terrain. Valfurva includes Santa Caterina, an established mountain resort, while smaller communities retain stone-and-timber building traditions associated with Alpine farming. The road over Gavia Pass links Valtellina with the Camonica Valley and is well known from the Giro d’Italia.

Shaped by the Po Valley and the southern Alps, Lombardy developed into Italy’s leading economic region. Its territory runs from high Alpine valleys to the broad Po plain, where the Adda, Oglio and Ticino are major waterways. Milan is its metropolitan centre, marked by the Gothic Duomo and a long role in finance, design and publishing. Farther east, Bergamo is divided between its walled Città Alta and modern lower city; nearby Lake Iseo lies between Lombardy’s pre-Alpine ridges. Rice fields around Pavia, vineyards in Franciacorta and lake towns give the region a markedly varied identity.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
