All summer nights kindle our desire to look up to the starry sky. And in August, the Night of San Lorenzo brings along the poetic tradition of looking at shooting stars, and, as darkness surrounds you, making a silent wish.

To truly experience its magic, you need three ingredients: a clear sky, little noise and places far from city lights. 

So the landscapes suspended between a lake and the mountains become the true protagonists of warm summer nights. Between natural terraces, silent ridges and romantic belvederes, Lombardy offers special destinations to stop, breathe and look up at the sky. Escape the urban heat and plunge yourself in the cool stillness of nature, lying in a meadow or leaning against a low wall, waiting for a trail of light to cross the sky. This simple moment can reconnecting us with something profound, made of awe, slowness and wonder.
