Description 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 city is crossed by theA4 highway, which connects it to Milan and Brescia.

Bergamo is surrounded on three sides (west, south, and east) by a system of tangential roads, connected to the highway, from which provincial and state roads lead to the valleys and to the capitals of neighboring provinces. The main communication route between the Brembana Valley, Bergamo’s capital city and the eastern sector of the province is Bergamo’s Tangenziale Sud.

Rondòdelle Valli, another name for Largo Decorati al Valor Civile, is an important traffic circle in the city’s road system. Located in the northeast, it connects the state and provincial roads of the Seriana and Brembana valleys with the ring road that runs south of the capital, as well as with the city center.

Railways and tramways

Bergamo station is served by regional trains operated by Trenord under the service contract with the Lombardy Region and long-distance connections carried out by Trenitalia.

Adjacent to that facility is the terminus of the Bergamo-Albino tramway, which opened in 2009.

Airports

Bergamo is served by theBergamo-Orio al Serio airport, from which frequent connections depart to many cities inItaly andEurope, and which is Milan’s second airport hub. As of 2015, it is the third Italian airport, after Rome-Fiumicino and Milan-Malpensa^[43]. The airport, since March 23, 2011, has been named after the painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio in honor of the 400th anniversary of the artist’s death, taking the name “Il Caravaggio International Airport of Bergamo Orio al Serio”^[44][45]. Formally, however, the airport is identified by domestic and international air traffic under the commercial name “Milano Orio” or “Milano Bergamo.”

Mobilità urban

Urban public transportation is provided by a network of bus services operated by ATB, supplemented by the Bergamo Alta Funicular, which connects the lower city (Viale Vittorio Emanuele II) with the upper city (Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe), and the Bergamo-San Vigilio Funicular, which joins the latter, from the Sant’Alessandro gate, with the hill of San Vigilio.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” because of the large number of Bergamascan volunteers-about 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 (also called Città Alta or, in the past, the city, as opposed to the boroughs) is a medieval city surrounded by ramparts erected in the 16th century, during Venetian rule, which were added to the pre-existing fortifications in order to make it an impregnable fortress.

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

The best known and most popular part of Upper Bergamo is Piazza Vecchia, with the Contarini fountain, the Palace of Reason, the 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 Palace of Reason 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. Noteworthy are 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 carved by Andrea Fantoni. The church houses the tomb of 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. Other religious architecture includes the church of San Michele al Pozzo Bianco, which has frescoes with Scenes from the Life of Mary by Lorenzo Lotto (1525).

Città Alta, in addition to housing a Botanical Garden located in Via Colle Aperto, is also home to the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature whose prestige is recognized in the European arena.

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.
