Information on Bergamo
Provincial capital, fourth most populous center in Lombardy, Bergamo has a double soul whose nature is immediately recognizable to those who set foot there for the first time: the Lower City, in fact, is the contemporary and modern centre, with shops and services and a certain metropolitan allure, while the Upper Town, embraced as it is by the Venetian city walls, represents the ancient and romantic heart of the city. Became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, the Venetian Walls close the medieval core and have kept its structure and charm intact: the Upper Town in fact preserves some of the most significant monuments of the city, such as the Contarini Fountain, the Palazzo della Ragione, the Civic Tower (called Il Campanone) and the Palazzo Nuovo with the Angelo Mai Library, but also the Cathedral of Sant’Alessandro, the Colleoni Chapel and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Le Corbusier also celebrated the beauty of Piazza Vecchia – the nerve center of the Upper Town – he wrote “you can no longer touch even a stone, it would be a crime”. Add then the suggestive alleys of the village, the “scorlazzini” that connect the Lower City to the Upper City and the numerous museums and smaller churches, and it is easy to understand the charm of this city, capable of combining ancient and contemporary and offering to those who live there an excellent quality of life on a human scale.
