Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Torre dei Caduti
The tower of the Caduti di Bergamo is located in the lower part of the city in Piazza Vittorio Veneto , at the beginning of the Sentierone, the so-called living room of Bergamo . From 24 May 2015, after a period of restoration, it is open again. The Tower of the Fallen is part of the network of the History Museum of Bergamo , managed by the Bergamo Foundation in history.
It is one of the most emblematic monuments of the Lower City, built on the wave of patriotic rhetoric after the First World War , not only in memory and honor of the fallen of Bergamo but to enhance and consolidate unitary nationalism , as explicitly said in the inaugural speech pronounced by Mussolini on October 27, 1924.
The work also testifies, under the urban aspect, the development and importance acquired by the Lower City.
The monument to plant square top 45 meters was designed by ' architect Marcello Piacentini . It was built, starting in 1922 , in an ' area known as the lawn of St. Alexander , which at the time housed the fair annual St. Alexander, one of the largest and oldest in Lombardy , dating from the ninth century. The choice of the area and the Tower itself were part of a larger project of urban reorganization of the lower part of Bergamo, which became the real political and administrative center of the city, linking it, however, with the Upper Town, the medieval part located on the hills behind .
For centuries the center of power had been represented by the medieval city and by the historical, as well as monumental, buildings that housed it. Slowly and then, after the Napoleonic period , more and more quickly the lower part of the city had acquired an increasing economic importance before, if only for the greater availability of building spaces, then strictly connected to its economic development. The construction of the Tower sanctioned this new political-urbanistic status of Bergamo, while Città Alta would have remained that medieval jewel that it is.
The Tower fits harmoniously in this new urban context almost like the side of an ideal door that frames the Venetian ramparts and the jagged profile of the buildings of Città Alta. The construction material used is l ' sandstone of Bagnatica in ashlars crespone that returns a work by the mighty structure, however lightened by ornamental and commemorative inserts such as l' clock and some sculptural groups.
The marble clock by Zandobbio is enclosed in a square whose corners are represented by four wind allegories , blowers, to symbolize the passing and transience of time. On the axis and under the clock there is a niche from which emerges the bronze statue of victorious Italy holding the Victory with the right hand and holding the sword in the resting position in the left.
The group rests on a large dedicatory shelf immediately above a polychrome marble window forming a statuary complex of great visual effect. In the lunette of the window two putti hold the emblem of Bergamo while the two bas-reliefs of the admiral Paolo Thaon of Revel and of the general Armando Diaz dominate the scene. In the large window opens a balcony that rests on the allegories of fighting weapons, while below a large headstone shows the bulletin of the victory of General Diaz.

Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Torre del Gombito
Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Torre del Gombito
La Torre del Gombito is located in the upper part of the city of Bergamo , at the intersection of the homonymous street, via San Lorenzo and via Mario Lupo, the most central and important crossroads of the ancient city. The tower takes its name from the Latin compitum , which means crossroads or crossroads , in the Bergamo dialect takes the meaning of elbow , from this it is clear that the tower was the crossing point of the different road axes of the Roman city the cardo and the decumanus . It was built in the twelfth century and is the highest in the city, it will never take the name of the families that over the centuries became its owners.
She was the protagonist of the fights between Guelphs and Ghibellines of Bergamo, the first in favor of the Pope and the second of the Emperor represented by the Suardi families, for the Ghibellines in opposition of the Rivola, owners of the tower and of the Guelph faction , and in the XIII century also owners of the mint of Bergamo. During the Middle Ages there were more than thirty towers owned by noble families. This controversy became bitter when in 1206 the clashes led to the fire of the tower itself.
In 1263 Bartolomeo del Zoppo is the owner of the tower, and in 1314, his son Giorgio, a member of the city council, which causes his active belonging to the Guelph faction, had to flee and ask for hospitality in the Ginami Castle of the Bucelleni family of Gromo. The tower retained its military and defensive characteristics until 1500 when commercial leases were documented. Captain Giovanni Da Lezze in his report of 1596 Description of Bergamo and its territory , the nomination as a tower of the hostaria del Gombedo.
The tower was donated to the municipality in 1877 by Giovanni Gout Giovanni Arioli and Alessandro Agliardi, and since 2010, after careful maintenance, it is open to the public for a visit also inside. After the climb of 263 steps you can enjoy the view from the highest terrace of Bergamo. The thirteenth-century tower , is in excellent condition, has a height of 51.60 meters, which originally were 64 meters, was demolished a part in the nineteenth century because it was considered unsafe.
Built in sandstone blocks, in Romanesque style, it formed a single complex with the adjacent house, which presents Gothic changes of a later period; the two units communicated with a single access, now walled, which was placed eight meters above the ground. It has very few openings and slits, typical features of medieval defensive constructions. The openings for commercial activities on the ground floor were carried out in the fifteenth century, while the two stone corbels that protrude on the west wall to six meters in height, are the remains of an open portico for a further workshop, it is in fact divided into two owners in 1555 , by Paolo Zoppo, and by Barbara Albrici.
When the tower was donated to the municipality it was in a situation of great neglect, the stairs, and the inner landings had been destroyed during the revolutionary uprisings, when the Austrians threatened its destruction. The first restorations were made in 1892 with the reconstruction of the internal parts, and subsequently in 1913 and 1915 . From the report of the architect Sandro Angelini, it appears that the tower was built with great skill, not only in its outer part, but more in the interior, with the gradual tapering of the walls, and the stone steps in its terminal part of the same thickness of the wall.

Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Palazzo della Ragione o Palazzo Vecchio
Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Palazzo della Ragione o Palazzo Vecchio
The Palazzo della Ragione is a historic building in the city of Bergamo. The building, known for centuries as Palatium Comunis Pergami , is located in the upper town, that is, in the part enclosed within the Venetian walls . Facing the Palazzo Nuovo , now home to the Angelo Mai Civic Library , and sideways both to the Palazzo del Podestà and the Torre Civica (also known as Campanone ), it borders the south-western side of Piazza Vecchia, which for centuries has been the political center of the orobic city.
The building was built at the end of the twelfth century , between 1183 (the date when the peace of Constance was signed ) and 1198 , when the first municipal realities began to develop within the Holy Roman Empire . Even Bergamo was not far behind, so as to equip itself with this municipal palace mentioned as Palatium Comunis Pergami in documents of 1198 , which in fact make it the oldest Italian municipal palace.
The building maintained the role of political center of the city even at the end of the communal era when, with the arrival of the Republic of Venice in the first half of the15th century , it was used almost exclusively as a place where justice was administered, hence Palazzo della Ragione, while at the opposite end of Piazza Nuova the rooms for the city council assemblies were built. In 1513 the structure was damaged by a fire, being promptly restored. In the years 1538-1554 a more important restoration work was carried out on a project by Pietro Isabello with his son Leonardo.
At the end of the domination of the Serenissima , which took over in 1797 the Napoleonic Republic Cisalpine, the palace lost the prerogatives of the city's political center. The institutional decadence was accentuated from the mid- nineteenth century when neither the Austrian domination nor the newborn Kingdom of Italy guaranteed the structure an important role. Only from the second half of the twentieth century the building was involved in a project of revaluation in tourism, which allowed it to return to its former glory.
Originally the main front of the building was facing the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, but it was turned towards Piazza Vecchia, then Piazza Nuova, in the years 1462 and 1463 when the Serenissima had the arches open on the ground floor towards the square and the windows gothic, while it was already completed since late summer of 1457 the staircase leading to the entrance through a loggia overpass and which also allows access to the adjoining Palazzo dei giuristi. In 1464, on the new façade facing Piazza Nuova, the first large bas-relief with the lion of St. Mark was placed, gilded on a blue backdrop, in a shrine evaluated by Filarete, who came specially from Milan.
Very similar to other Italian municipal buildings built in medieval times , it has a ground floor open on three sides (originally two) with a portico. This is equipped with a loggia with acute arches and round arches, with perimeter supporting pillars and sixteenth-century columns in the center. The pillars themselves are adorned with capitals with decorative elements in Romanesque style, including animals and zoomorphic elements (lions, birds and monkeys) and anthropomorphic elements. Inside the portico there is a small square that divides Piazza Vecchia, a symbol of political power, from the Piazza del Duomo, a symbol of religious power in which the Cathedral , the Colleoni Chapel and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore are located.

Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Bergamo Battistero
Like the sides of the monument, which geometrically draw its shape and make it so characteristic. The bas-reliefs that adorn the interior walls of the Baptistery with scenes from the Life of Jesus, by the famous sculptor of the fourteenth century Giovanni da Campione. Or the statues placed outside the dome, at the corners, which represent the Virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Justice, Prudence, Fortress, Temperance, with the addition of Patience.
A nomadic Baptistery , which does not seem to find peace: the building as we see it today is in fact the result of many movements suffered during the centuries.
Built in 1340 inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in the Upper Town, it remains there until 1661. Subsequently, it is dismembered and reassembled in a completely arbitrary way, with additions and remakes, for two more times. Finally, it finds its last location in 1898-99 on the west side of the Piazza del Duomo in the Upper Town, where it is recreated in neo-Gothic style.
At the center of the only octagonal hall from which it is constituted, you can admire the gothic decorations of the baptismal font, that is the tub that contained the water to baptize people according to the Catholic rite. Behind him, you will see the altar surmounted by a marble statue of Saint John the Baptist.

Tour Centro Piacentiniano
progetto “Alla scoperta del Centro Piacentiniano: visite guidate e itinerari turistici nel cuore di Bergamo”, creato in collaborazione con TMedia Lab, ha come obiettivo quello di svelare le meraviglie del Centro Piacentiniano, cuore di Bergamo Bassa, area centrale di grande valore storico, urbanistico, architettonico, culturale, simbolico e strategico.
Il progetto ha visto la creazione di tre itinerari turistici, a cui corrispondono tre depliant pieghevoli più uno generico informativo. Tutti gli itinerari hanno come fulcro proprio il Centro Piacentiniano.
Partendo da Piazza Dante (1) e percorrendo le vie circoscritte all’area, è possibile ammirare tutti gli edifici realizzati dall’architetto romano Piacentini, come la Banca d’Italia (2), il Palazzo di Giustizia (3), i Due Cortili (4), la Camera di Commercio (5) e l’Unicredit (7). Dirigendosi poi verso l’iconico Quadriportico (6), ci si affaccia sul Sentierone, da sempre luogo d’incontro e passeggio dei bergamaschi che prosegue fino ai piedi della Torre dei Caduti (8), simbolo della Città ed elemento distintivo del Centro Piacentiniano.
