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.

Here is the spot where I took this photo:

Between the 7th and 8th centuries, following the conquest of Liguria by the Lombards, the Columban monks of Bobbio, who followed the rule of Saint Columbanus and continued their work of evangelization, built a monastery that over time grew to become a religious and economic nerve center. The birth of Brugnato is therefore linked to the foundation of the abbey which, like other monastic sites in Liguria and northern Italy, depended on the abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio.

The beautiful and well-known Piazza della Loggia in Brescia

Uno scorcio della bella e nota Piazza della Loggia a Brescia

A glimpse of the beautiful and well-known Piazza della Loggia in Brescia.
In the heart of Brescia, Italy, stands a place that unites past and present, history and resilience. Piazza della Loggia, an iconic square located in the historic center of the city, is much more than just a public space. It is a symbol of Brescian identity, a living testimony to the rich history of this community and its ability to face challenges with courage.
Piazza della Loggia is a place steeped in history, dating back to the Renaissance period. Its beauty is evident in the majestic architecture of the Palazzo della Loggia, which overlooks the square. This building, with its Renaissance style, testifies to the importance and prosperity that Brescia has enjoyed over the centuries. The square is also adorned by the clock tower, another symbol of local recognition.
However, the name Piazza della Loggia is linked to a tragedy that deeply shook the city and Italy. In 1974, the square was the scene of a devastating bomb attack that left eight people dead and many more injured. This horrific event could have broken the heart of the community, but Brescia instead demonstrated its extraordinary resilience.
Following the attack, Piazza della Loggia underwent a major reconstruction project, which saw the square restored to its former glory. The Palazzo della Loggia was rebuilt with great attention to detail, reaffirming the historical importance of the place. The square became a symbol of rebirth and of the city's determination not to bow down in the face of adversity.
Today, Piazza della Loggia is a lively and busy square, where Brescians and visitors gather to celebrate life, culture and history. It is surrounded by cafes, restaurants and shops, making it a popular meeting point for enjoying local cuisine and socialising with friends.
The square also hosts numerous cultural events and celebrations throughout the year. The traditional Santa Caterina Fair, held in November, transforms the square into a lively market with stalls selling local products and handicrafts. During the Christmas period, the square is filled with lights and decorations, creating a magical atmosphere.

Piazza della Loggia is much more than a physical place. It is a place of meeting, reflection and celebration. It is an ode to resilience and the human capacity to rise again after tragedies. Through its unique history and its charming atmosphere, this square embodies the vibrant spirit of Brescia and its community.
