Lombardy is one of the twenty administrative regions of Italy, in the northwest of the country, with an area of 23,844 square kilometres (9,206 sq mi). About 10 million people, or a sixth of Italy's population, live in Lombardy, and about a fifth of Italy's GDP is produced in the region, making it the most populous and most prosperous region in the country and one of the wealthiest regions in Europe. Milan, the capital of Lombardy, is Italy's second-largest city and its largest metropolitan area. With a surface area of 23,861 km² (9,213 sq mi), Lombardy is the fourth-largest region in Italy. It is bordered by Switzerland (north: Canton Ticino and Canton Graubünden) and by the Italian regions of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Veneto (east), Emilia-Romagna (south), and Piedmont (west). Three distinct natural zones can be fairly easily distinguished in the Lombardy region: mountains, hills, and plains – the latter being divided into Alta (high plains) and Bassa (low plains).
