Lecce hosts a wide variety of seasonal events, the most notable being the Giro Di Lombardy (Tour of Lombardy), which is one of the last cycling races in the UCI World Tour, making it a decisive segment of the competition. Taking place early each fall, the race follows the shores of Lake Como and ascends the notoriously steep Ghisallo climb and ends near the Church of Madonna del Ghisallo, dedicated to the patron of cyclists.
If you find yourself taking a break in Lecce on your Italian road trip, make it a point to stop at the Primo Re restaurant - an extremely popular restaurant among locals (many visitors note they are the only English-speaking diners) - where one can find deliciously prepared home cooked Lombard cuisine.
