The Città Alta is the historic and medieval heart of Bergamo, a jewel perched on a hill and entirely enclosed by the majestic Venetian Walls, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Unlike the modern Città Bassa located on the plain, the upper part retains the intact charm of its cobbled streets, period buildings, and historic squares.

Unique wildlife oasis, perhaps the last of all ecosystems in urbanized areas. An environment to be respected and carefully maintained. I think of the devastation that routes D and C of the foothill highway will cause. Let's stop useless works and preserve what our territory still offers us.

A valuable 17th-century monument of Lombard Baroque, but also a bulwark that rises in a panoramic position overlooking the Adda Valley in Imbersago, in the province of Lecco. A perfect blend of religious devotion, commemoration of a mystical past, and immersion in lush nature, a symbol of vitality and timeless beauty. The history of the Sanctuary of Imbersago is rooted in a past of apparitions and miraculous events. It all began on May 9, 1617, when three shepherds who were grazing their flock in the woods saw a celestial figure among dazzling lights and harmonious melodies on the three large chestnut trees that stood around the Sorgente del Lupo (so named for the animals that roamed there). At that point, Pietro, one of the children, with great wonder, spotted and picked up a ripe hedgehog, an unlikely event in the middle of spring. And for all the people, this represented the prodigious sign that the Blessed Virgin wished to be honored in that very place. From here, from this miraculous vision, began the devotion to the Madonna del Bosco, also known as Madonna del Riccio, referring precisely to the miracle just narrated, or Madonna dei Miracoli di Imbersago.
