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.

Interesting: it's a shame it's in a state of total abandonment

Important power station built with a construction that integrates without excessively disfiguring the entire area

Over the decades, in more recent times, the Visconti structure was also used as the site of an elementary school, but towards the end of the last century Castel Liteggio underwent a phenomenon of abandonment and degradation which continues to this day. In recent years, various proposals have been presented, by public and private bodies, for the recovery of the structure, however the lack of agreement between the interested parties has not allowed any restoration work to be started. The Castle, once considered an impregnable fortress, therefore seems definitively destined for ruin. Private property, after having repeatedly and in vain attempted an auction aimed at using the property as an accommodation facility / mini-apartment, has not demonstrated any intention to stop the increasingly rapid progress of structural degradation. Little or nothing remains of the village of Castel Liteggio and its inhabitants, who were its historical and cultural memory. The three farmhouses, which formed the backbone of the village, have completely changed their identity: Borghetto, after the restoration, became a B&B, Liteggio was rebuilt to house mini-apartments and a Relais, while little remains of the farmhouse in Via Fattoria, which collapsed in on itself in 2011. The remains of the latter and the small private church with tower and house, which stands in front of the Castle, have been put up for sale at auction.

Castel Liteggio was built in the 15th century by the Viscontis of Milan, as a defensive stronghold located in the Liteggio hamlet of the Municipality of Cologno al Serio, corresponding to the border between the Duchy of Milan and the Venetian Republic, traced by the "Fosso Bergamasco". Later the Castle was transformed into an elegant stately home with a large park. Castel Liteggio was a truly autonomous village, due to the presence of shops and internal houses, the abundance of water and the facing farmhouses which guaranteed complete autonomy for centuries, at least until the end of the eighteenth century. Subsequently Giovanni Maironi da Ponte reported Castel Liteggio as a district of the municipality of Cologno al Serio.

The Alessandro Taccani hydroelectric power plant is a work of architectural art located in Trezzo sull'Adda, along the right bank of the Adda river. Founded by industrialist Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, the plant has been generating clean and sustainable energy for over a century. Every year, it produces around 60 million kilowatt hours, equivalent to the average annual consumption of 24 thousand families. Behind her, the medieval castle of Trezzo, with its 42 meter high square tower towering above it.

arrived at Castel Liteggio I took the road to the right for the first time: initially paved, it then becomes a comfortable dirt road which soon took me to Morengo

beautiful castle reachable along the dirt road of the Ghisalba Bike Park or by road from the provincial road of Cavernago
