ベルガモの洞窟・トップ20

What a nice surprise to find it in front of you on the way to Soncino!

Fortress, stately home, granary, farmhouse, monument. How many other buildings can boast of having survived the centuries, adapting to the passage of time? This is the story of the Visconti Castle of Pagazzano; indeed, different uses and needs make up its history. There are still those who remember how, as a child, they accompanied their grandfather to buy seeds inside the castle and even in its very rooms. Here, within its walls, the poet Petrarch stayed as a guest several times. And within its walls, a very young Francesco Bernardino Visconti, known to all as "the Unnamed," grew up, entrusted to his uncle, the archpriest Galeazzo Visconti, in 1595. Today, it hosts conferences, theater and music festivals, sculpture symposia, and educational workshops.

It's a steep climb up here, no matter which direction you come from. Unfortunately, the gate is still locked early in the morning, and you can't get in.

beautiful, worth stopping and visiting

to visit

Beautiful castle, very well preserved and enriched by a beautiful drawbridge and its moat

Cross the village of Pumenengo and be enchanted by the landscapes along the Oglio River. The castle, once a strategic bulwark between the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Venice, today tells stories of noble families and ancient legends.
