The list of historic stores in Lombardy has been enriched each year with new awards, which reward the history and tradition of these businesses.

With the latest recognitions, the total number of signs with more than 40 years of history behind them has reached almost 4,000. Included within this list, which was desired and promoted by the Lombardy Region, are stores, historic establishments and artisan workshops.

To understand and appreciate the true nature of an area, it is therefore important to know the traditions and also the flavors that belong to it. This can be done by making a fascinating visit to historic shops and establishments, where you can breathe in an atmosphere of yesteryear, stopping to learn about and taste the typical products of that territory.

Choose a Lombard territory in the gallery and discover some of the historic businesses, particularly related to the food and wine sector.
