Information on Bergamo

Bergamo is an Italian municipality of 120,345 inhabitants, capital of theprovince of the same name in Lombardy and the fourth most populous center in the region after Milan, Brescia and Monza.

The city and its hinterland have 485,892 inhabitants, spread over an area of ​​341.33 km².

The built-up area of Bergamo is divided into two distinct parts: the “Upper City,” surrounded by walls and set at a higher altitude, and the “Lower City,” which-although it too is of ancient origin and retains its historic cores-has been made partly more modern by some urbanization.

Bergamo is also nicknamed “the city of the Thousand” due to the large number of volunteers from Bergamo – around 180 – who took part in the expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi, a crucial episode of the Risorgimento.

The Venetian walls of Bergamo were declared a World Heritage Site on July 10, 2017, during the 41st session of the UNESCO Committee in Krakow, Poland.

Bergamo Alta (detta anche Città Alta o, in passato, la città, in contrapposizione ai borghi) è una città medioevale, circondata da bastioni eretti nel XVI secolo, durante la dominazione veneziana, che si aggiungevano alle preesistenti fortificazioni al fine di renderla una fortezza inespugnabile.

Bergamo is still one of the few Italian capital cities, together with Ferrara, Lucca, Verona, Padua, Treviso and Grosseto, whose historic center has remained completely surrounded by walls which, in turn, have kept their original appearance almost intact over the of the centuries.

The best known and busiest part of Bergamo Alta is Piazza Vecchia, with the Contarini fountain, il Palace of Reason, la Civic tower (known as the Campanone), which still rings out 100 blasts at 10 p.m.-the ones that in the past announced the nightly closing of the gates of the Venetian walls-and other buildings surrounding it on all sides. Imposing, on the opposite side of the Palazzo della Ragione, is the large white building of the Palazzo Nuovo which houses the Angelo Mai Civic Library.

Beyond the Palazzo della Ragione are the St. Alexander’s Cathedral, the Colleoni Chapel by architect Giovanni Antonio Amadeo with the funerary monuments to leader Bartolomeo Colleoni and his daughter Medea, the Baptistery erected by Giovanni da Campione, and the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore with its beautiful north and south side portals, also by Giovanni da Campione. The latter, city church, formerly an ancient baptismal church, now no longer of the diocese, bears inside the architectural signs of the various periods since its construction. Worthy of note are the inlays depicting biblical scenes made of wood of various colors, the designs of which are almost all the work of Lorenzo Lotto, and an imposing baroque confessional sculpted by Andrea Fantoni. The church houses the tomb of the musician Gaetano Donizetti.

Via Colleoni, also known as Corsaröla, connects Piazza Vecchia to Piazza della Cittadella and is the heart of the upper city.

Cittadella Square is home to the Civic Archaeological Museum and the “Enrico Caffi” Museum of Natural Sciences, not far from which you can visit the Lantro Fountain, located at the Church of San Lorenzo. Among other religious architecture, the church of San Michele al Pozzo Bianco, which preserves the frescoes with Scenes from the Life of Mary by Lorenzo Lotto (1525).

Città Alta, in addition to hosting a botanical garden located in via Colle Aperto, is also home to the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​and Literatures whose prestige is recognized in Europe.

Upper Town can be reached on foot via the scorlazzini (stairways that connect it from several points to the lower part of the city), by car (although it is forbidden on summer weekends and year-round on Sunday afternoons), by funicular or by bus.
