La Citta Alta

I have lived in the upper town, the historic center of the city of Bergamo, since I was born. I live in a 16th century tower house, built on the remains of a medieval tower, which has been in our family for many generations. I love my city and especially the historic center and its villages. Growing up I discovered its uniqueness and the ancient stories that still remain alive and present in it, albeit hidden between the walls of the palaces and in the side streets. Small magical corners of the ancient city that too often are overlooked by those who visit it. Our tower house also preserves many of them, but only by entering it is it possible to discover them. I am always happy to be able to share our story with those who have the curiosity to want to know it. You will come with me to the top of the tower but beware ... without a lift. For foreign visitors, I will possibly use the simultaneous voice translator via my mobile phone. As a tribute to all participants, the Ospitality map of the Upper Town.
