Montreal and Toronto host a week-long celebration of Lombardy’s design, creativity, and cultural excellence
Lombardia Style made a remarkable impression in Canada this week, with a series of high-profile events held in Montreal and Toronto, celebrating the unique blend of design, creativity, innovation, industry, and cultural richness that defines the Italian region of Lombardy.
A Delegation Led by Minister Barbara Mazzali
At the heart of the initiative was the visit of Assessore Barbara Mazzali, Lombardy’s Minister for Tourism, Territorial Marketing, and Fashion. Her presence underscored the region’s commitment to building international partnerships and promoting its multifaceted identity abroad.
The program—curated by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada (ICCC)—featured an ambitious schedule that included:
- Strategic meetings with provincial counterparts
- Discussions with leading figures in the travel and fashion industries
- Engagements with media professionals and lifestyle influencers
- Encounters with Canadian consumers passionate about Italian culture and lifestyle
Immersive Evenings Celebrating Lombardia Style
The mission was highlighted by two elegant evenings, each designed to offer an authentic sensory experience of Lombardy. Guests were treated to:
- A refined gastronomic menu inspired by Lombard cuisine
- A selection of exceptional regional wines
- Live music, evocative visuals, and immersive décor reflecting the spirit of the region
From Milan’s global leadership in fashion and design to the natural beauty of Lombardy’s lakes, mountains, and historic cities, the events offered a compelling invitation to discover the region where excellence meets experience.
