[email protected] www.provincia.lecco.it Introduction The 2015 edition of the cultural tourist itineraries “SIMPLe Ways from the museums to the area, to Expo 2015 and beyond” is only one of many initiatives to help visitors rediscover and enjoy the rich and varied cultural heritage of the province of Lecco. This publication, already a success in the fi rst edition, aims to provide the visitor with interesting ways to discover the collections in the Lecco Museum System, which counts a total of 29 museums to date. The aim is also to lead the visitor to extend their visit to the area itself with all its heritage sites and multifaceted beauty so that it becomes the real museum to ITINERARIES explore. We have created a virtuous network of itineraries which allow local or tourist to visit the area and enjoy the landscape and SIMPLe natural surroundings with an increased awareness of the historic, artistic and architectural heritage. Ways SIMPLe Ways are ten tourist itineraries exploring the Lecco from the museum branch of Lake Como, Valsassina, Val San Martino and Brianza, worthwhile destinations for visitors to the area who want to to the territory immerse themselves in the spectacular natural surroundings towards Expo and beyond which still bear traces of the local heritage, at times until recently forgotten and only now rebuilt or restored. A cura di These itineraries are the fruit of a coordinated effort by the Provincia di Lecco museum administrations and the operators, often voluntary Settore Cultura, Beni Culturali, workers, to reach the objectives set by the Museum System: Identità e Tradizione conservation, administration of the collections and above all, the Sistema Museale della Provincia di Lecco promotion of our common heritage.
