Pavia
Pavia is a city in Lombardy, home to one of the oldest universities in Europe and many interesting churches. Pavia is also called the city of the hundred towers, the city of kings, the city of wisdom, the city of the red bricks and it is surrounded by Oltrepo' Pavese, the so called "Tuscany of the northern Italy" with marvellous hills and wine yards scattered here and then across its landscape.
