ITALIAN NATIVES- HELP
Please! I need your insider perspective. I live in Milan with my Italian boyfriend. I want to start having weekend getaways for the two of us. Can you recommend any non-tourist places to visit? Any festivals, concerts coming up in the next few months? Let me know what you think is most unique :)

Thanks so much!

Answer

Ciao, I live in Milan too so I can give some helpful suggestion (I hope!)
If you like "nature" you can visit the zone near Lecco (Valsassina)
in just one hour you completely change landscape: mountains, rivers, and so on.
You can eat in lodge (rifugio) and so you can try the polenta and other typical food :-)

Answer

You could visit Città Alta in Bergamo, it's a beautiful medioeval city :)
