Bergamo, a city in Lombardy, 50 km from Milan, is often surprised by the natural attraction options located between the mountainous north and the south of the hills and valleys.
The Upper Town, a walled medieval section located high on a hill, is the starting point for a historic visit before heading through valleys and mountains of Lombardy countryside.
After a bucolic climb to the historic city center aboard a funicular, cable transport system in operation since 1887, the visitor arrives at Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe, square where seven streets of the city end.
From there, the traveler follows a labyrinthine medieval route through Italian squares such as Piazza Vecchia, a 15th century building that houses the Contarini fountain, the town hall tower, known as Campanone, and the Civic Library with its marble façade. Surrounded by 16th-century ramparts erected by Venetians, the city also has several lookouts that offer panoramic views of the region.
Next door, Piazza del Duomo is home to other historic postcards of the destination such as the Cathedral dedicated to San Alejandro, the imposing Basilica of Santa María Maggiore with its Baroque-style interior decoration, and the Capilla Colleoni, reminiscent of the Lombard Renaissance.
Medieval buildings give way to simple cottages set up at the foot of the mountain, crowded alleys are replaced by lonely paths that lead into the woods, and the bustling common half-day tourism in Bergamo turns into a contemplative journey through mountains and streams that can last for days.
In winter, the landscape around Bergamo changes its tone, so snow sports enthusiasts find themselves in places such as the Seriana and Brembana valleys, where ski slopes of varying difficulty are situated.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and considered the best-preserved working-class settlement in southern Europe, Crespi d'Adda still preserves the old factory that until the 1930s attracted families looking for work in this tiny town that currently has one thousand inhabitants.
With the air of an uninhabited city, Crespi d'Adda still maintains the residences of the time when the region housed the factory run by the family of Lombard industrialists known as Crespi. The visit to the city should not last more than half a day and the brief itinerary includes a visit to the old Crespi factory (closed to the public), the cemetery where the family remains of a pyramid-shaped mausoleum. built that city in the late nineteenth century; and views of the meeting of the Adda and Brembo rivers.
In Castione della Presolana, 35 km northeast of Bergamo and about 1000 meters above sea level, the traveler finds the most natural side of the region. Located between forests and the Presolana Massif, the destination has hiking routes with varying degrees of difficulty and travel time, such as the trail leading to Salto degli sposi, where a Polish musician and painter threw themselves hugging each other on a cliff, in 1871.
Located between mountains and valleys, Bergamo is known for its historic sector located on a hill overlooking the region in Lombardy, northern Italy.
Overlooking the Bergamo mountain ranges and the Valle di Scalve, the observation deck over that chasm is one of the most striking scenarios in the itinerary.
One of the highlights is the small Rusio, approximately 9th century settlement, set in the Valle Seriana and considered one of the oldest in the region. There begin the various trails and routes for rock climbers.
Another surprise of the region is the old 16th century mill which currently houses a museum dedicated to its engineering and a restaurant.
South of Castione, another city holds the inland climate of the region. Located on the western shores of Lake Iseo and bordered by medieval alleys, Lovere boasts river walks through small villages on the shores of the blue waters of Iseo.
Throughout this itinerary, the old images of Italy must be repeated over and over, but Lombardy helps travelers looking for experiences that go beyond historical itineraries and typical Italian (lunch) lunches.
