    "I wish you were in Bergamo with me" is my Tour Experience aimed to share with you the emotions that Bergamo can offer with its stunning BEAUTY. That's why we'll immerse gradually into the medieval urban paths of the town, its secondary squares, fountains to reach gradually the beating heart of Piazza Vecchia, exploring the Campanone Medieval Tower, the magnificent Basilica and Cathedral with its unsurpassable art treasures; the magnificent Mausoleum of Colleoni the brave warrior of the Serenissima Republic; stroll around to discover its medieval shops and old markets squares today nice spaces converted to modern business activities; we'll have a romantic walk alongside a segment of the perimeter of the Venetian walls a UNESCO patrimony meditating on the breathtaking view in front of us and I'm sure where you'll print the image in front of you forever.

    Raggiungeremo la Rocca di Bergamo sul Colle di S. Eufemia, percorrendo l'antica via Gombito ed alcune delle viuzze medievali tra antiche case torri e piccole piazze. Giunti sul colle di S. Eufemia, esploreremo con una breve camminata perimetrale la struttura militare della Rocca di Bergamo, lanciando lo sguardo su magnifici panorami verso la città antica con i suoi antichi tetti, torri e cupole e uno sguardo più libero oltre i confini della città sui colli e le due valli convergenti in pianura.

  3. Piazza Vecchia

    Piazza Vecchia è il cuore vivo pulsante di questa città, una delle piazze più belle d'Italia, tutta da scoprire. Luogo circondato dagli edifici civili più rappresentativi della città quali l'antico palazzo comunale, il Palazzo della Ragione del XII° sec., la medievale Torre Civica chiamata affettuosamente il Campanone di Bergamo, la Biblioteca A. Mai ed il suo vasto e prezioso patrimonio librario.

La Cappella funebre che è liberamente visitabile, si presenta con una magnifica facciata policroma affacciata sulla piccola piazza della Cattedrale. Al suo interno, decorato con affreschi di G.B. Tiepolo, riposano le spoglie del condottiero morto nel 1475.
