Going beyond the known

During 10 days spent in Italy, we visited quite a few cities (Como, Lecco, Milan, Morbegro, Sondrio), discovered amazing mountains, managed to rest one day on the shore of Como Lake (Colico) and tried countless times Italian ice cream, which by the way are for me the best in the...
