The loggia of Piazza Luigi Angelini in Bergamo

La loggia di piazza Luigi Angelini a Bergamo

The loggia of Piazza Luigi Angelini in Bergamo.
Bergamo Alta, also known as Città Alta, is the historical and medieval part of Bergamo, located on a hill and surrounded by imposing Venetian walls, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2017. This area is famous for its cobbled streets, picturesque squares and breathtaking panoramic views.

Piazza Luigi Angelini is a hidden corner of Bergamo Alta, known for its loggia and quiet charm. The square is dedicated to Luigi Angelini, an engineer and architectural historian who played a crucial role in the redevelopment and preservation of the Città Alta in the 1930s.
Luigi Angelini was tasked with improving the condition of the Città Alta while maintaining its historic character. His redevelopment plan included demolishing ruined buildings and creating new public spaces, such as walkways, gardens and markets. Piazza Luigi Angelini, formerly known as Piazza Verzeri, is an example of his work, with the loggia providing a quiet and picturesque passage away from the tourist traffic.

What to See in Bergamo Alta:
Piazza Vecchia: the heart of the Upper Town, surrounded by historic buildings such as the Palazzo della Ragione and the Angelo Mai Civic Library.
The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore: a splendid Romanesque church with richly decorated interiors.
The Colleoni Chapel: a masterpiece of the Lombard Renaissance, located next to the basilica.
The Campanone (Civic Tower): offers a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding mountains.
The Castle of San Vigilio: located on an even higher hill, reachable by a funicular, it offers spectacular views and a peaceful atmosphere.

Bergamo Alta and Piazza Luigi Angelini offer a fascinating mix of history, culture and architectural beauty.

A glimpse of the seaside village of Boccadasse in Genoa.
Boccadasse is a charming seaside village located in Genoa, known for its pastel-colored houses and its quiet and romantic atmosphere. This small neighborhood, which seems to have come out of a postcard, is characterized by narrow streets, stairways and a small pebble beach where fishermen spread their nets in the sun.

What to see and do in Boccadasse:
The church of Sant’Antonio da Padova: built by fishermen in the 17th century, this church is a place of worship much loved by the inhabitants of the village. Inside, you can admire marble floors of different colors and numerous ex votos that tell stories of rescues at sea.
The small beach of Boccadasse: a small pebble beach where you can relax and enjoy the view of the fishermen's boats and the colorful houses overlooking the sea.
The Türcke Castle: located in Capo Santa Chiara, this medieval-style castle, designed by the architect Gino Coppedè in 1903, offers a spectacular view of the Golfo Paradiso and Portofino.
Ice cream parlors and restaurants: Boccadasse is also famous for its artisanal ice cream parlors and seafood restaurants. It is the ideal place to enjoy an ice cream or a plate of fresh fish while admiring the view.
The Corso Italia promenade: a long promenade that connects Boccadasse to the center of Genoa, perfect for a relaxing stroll overlooking the sea.

The name “Boccadasse” comes from the shape of the inlet on which it stands, which resembles a “donkey’s mouth”. The village is also known as the “village of lovers” for its romantic atmosphere and breathtaking views.

Un vicolo del borgo di Montefalco in Umbria.
Montefalco è un incantevole borgo situato nella regione dell’Umbria, in Italia. Questo piccolo comune si trova su una collina, offrendo panorami mozzafiato sulla campagna umbra circostante. Conosciuto come la “Ringhiera dell’Umbria” per la sua posizione panoramica, Montefalco è rinomato per la sua storia, cultura e produzione vinicola.
Montefalco ha origini antiche, con tracce di insediamenti che risalgono all’epoca romana. Durante il Medioevo, la città divenne un importante centro religioso e culturale. Le mura medievali e le porte storiche, come la Porta di Sant’Agostino, testimoniano il passato glorioso della città.
Uno dei principali punti di interesse è la Chiesa di San Francesco, che oggi ospita il Museo Civico. Qui si possono ammirare affreschi di grande valore artistico, tra cui opere del famoso pittore rinascimentale Benozzo Gozzoli.

Montefalco è celebre per i suoi vini, in particolare il Sagrantino di Montefalco, un vino rosso robusto e tannico ottenuto dall’omonimo vitigno autoctono. Il Sagrantino di Montefalco è apprezzato a livello internazionale e rappresenta una delle eccellenze vinicole italiane. Oltre al Sagrantino, Montefalco produce anche ottimi vini bianchi, come il Trebbiano Spoletino.
La gastronomia locale è altrettanto rinomata, con piatti tradizionali che includono salumi, formaggi, tartufi e olio d’oliva di alta qualità. I ristoranti e le trattorie di Montefalco offrono un’esperienza culinaria autentica, dove è possibile degustare le specialità umbre abbinate ai vini locali.

Montefalco ospita numerosi eventi e manifestazioni durante l’anno, che attirano visitatori da ogni parte del mondo. Uno degli eventi più importanti è la “Settimana Enologica”, che si tiene a settembre e celebra la vendemmia con degustazioni di vini, visite alle cantine e spettacoli folcloristici.
La “Fuga del Bove” è un’altra tradizione secolare, una sorta di palio che si svolge in agosto e vede la partecipazione dei quattro quartieri della città in una serie di competizioni storiche e sportive.

La Piazza del Comune, il cuore pulsante della città, è un luogo incantevole dove passeggiare e ammirare gli edifici storici, mentre le viuzze strette e i vicoli pittoreschi invitano a esplorare ogni angolo del borgo.
Montefalco è una destinazione che incanta per la sua autenticità, la ricchezza del suo patrimonio e la calda accoglienza dei suoi abitanti. Un luogo ideale per chi desidera immergersi nella bellezza e nella cultura dell’Umbria.

Spello (Hispellum in Latin) is an Italian municipality in the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag tourist-environmental quality brand, awarded by the Italian Touring Club. Spello was founded by the Umbrians and then named Hispellum in Roman times; it was then registered with the Lemonia tribe. Later declared "Colonia Giulia" by Caesar and "Splendidissima Colonia Julia" by Augustus, because it supported him in the war of Perugia; after the victory of Augustus, he himself ceded to Hispellum a good part of the territories governed by Perusia and the dominion of the city of Spello extended to the sources of the Clitunno, which were previously under the possession of Mevania. Later it was called "Flavia Costante" by Constantine. Ancient Spello was considered one of the most important cities in Roman Umbria.
