About Bergamo
Bergamo is an Italian city with a population of approximately 120,345 residents. It is the capital of the province of Bergamo in Lombardy and the fourth most populous city in the region after Milan, Brescia, and Monza.
The city and its surrounding area have a total population of about 485,892 inhabitants spread over 341.33 km².
Bergamo is divided into two distinct parts: the "Città Alta" (Upper Town), surrounded by walls and located at a higher elevation, and the "Città Bassa" (Lower Town), which, while also historic, has been modernized through urban development.
Known as "the city of the Thousand," Bergamo earned this nickname because of the large number of Bergamasco volunteers (about 180) who participated in Giuseppe Garibaldi's famous Expedition of the Thousand, a key event in the Italian unification.
The Venetian walls of Bergamo were declared a UNESCO World Heritage site on July 10, 2017.
Bergamo Alta is a medieval city surrounded by bastions built in the 16th century during Venetian rule, designed to make it an impregnable fortress.
Bergamo remains one of the few Italian provincial capitals, along with Ferrara, Lucca, Verona, Padua, Treviso, and Grosseto, whose historic center is completely surrounded by walls that have maintained their original appearance over centuries.
The most famous and visited part of Bergamo Alta is Piazza Vecchia, home to the Contarini Fountain, the Palazzo della Ragione, and the Civic Tower ("Il Campanone"), which still rings 100 chimes at 10 p.m., signaling the old curfew closing the Venetian walls’ gates.
Nearby are the Cathedral of Sant'Alessandro, the Colleoni Chapel by architect Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, the Baptistery by Giovanni da Campione, and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, which contains works by Lorenzo Lotto and a baroque confessional by Andrea Fantoni, along with the tomb of composer Gaetano Donizetti.
Via Colleoni connects Piazza Vecchia to Piazza della Cittadella and is the heart of the Upper Town.
Piazza della Cittadella hosts the Civic Archaeological Museum and the Enrico Caffi Museum of Natural Sciences.
Bergamo Alta also has the Botanical Garden and hosts the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, recognized across Europe for its prestige.
Access to Bergamo Alta is available on foot via numerous stairways connecting to the lower town, by car (restricted during summer weekends and Sunday afternoons), by funicular, or by bus.
