The guided tour in Bergamo above all others is the one which takes place through the streets, alleys and squares of the old town, to discover the places related to the civil and religious power, from the municipality epoch to the end of xix century. thus, the right time will be dedicated to the description of the cathedral, the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, to the Colleoni chapel and the town council palace.

The old Bergamo is more than that: it is worthily represented by its renaissance palaces rich in furniture of value and art works; by its Angelo Maj library and by the Gaetano Donizetti birthplace and museum; by the Rocca military fortress of the Visconti period; by the San Vigilio castle and by the restored roman remains below the dome and the Podestà house.

Across Bergamo will tell you all that in a journey through the more than thousand-year old town history; it will also try to show you, every time it will be possible, curious aspects or artistic/architectural traits not immediately visible at a general glance.
