11 There's no shortage of fresh air, breathtaking views and urban appeal in this mediev-
al Lombard town ( Click here ), at the foot of the Orobie Alps. The city's defining feature is
its double identity. The ancient hilltop Città Alta (Upper Town) is a tangle of tiny medieval
streets, Lombard Romanesque architecture and the most beautiful piazza in the world ac-
cording to Le Corbusier. Below, connected by funicular, the sprawling Città Bassa (Lower
Town) sports boulevards lined with patrician palazzi (palaces) and a wealth of wine bars
and taverns.
