LECCO — It was an off day here in Italy as all rounds were canceled due to soaking wet fields. Good thing too — it rained all morning until about 4 PM, when, finally, the sun came out.
I spent the day in Lecco and up on one of the nearby mountains via tram. Here’s a look at the beautiful city of Lecco from above.
