You are not likely to have heard of Lodi. I don't think it is really a "destination." Indeed it wasn't one for us. It was just a convenient stopping point for lunch and a stretch of the legs on the drive between Milan and Pisa. We parked a little way from the centre and it didn't look too inspiring. This is a monument to the Italian Resistance in a style which I can only say thankfully never really caught on.
But every Italian city seems to have a castle (Visconti Castle here)
But better still, every Italian city has a lovely square. And Lodi was no exception Piazza della Vittoria. Really charming. With the compulsory cathedral
Note the unusual looking lions - I guess sculpted by someone who had never seen a lion. Although the odd expression might arise from finding oneself holding up a cathedral😊
Lunch was a reasonable pizza. Bit much for me but I am not a great fan of the pizza.
