​​​Bergamo is a city located in Northern Italy, in Lombardy, about 50 Km from MILAN city, 45 mins. Bergamo is a city which originated on a hill and is divided into two parts: upper and lower town. The upper town (Città Alta) is the old part of the town surrounded by XVI century Venetian walls of 5 km. Narrow, paved streets and wonderful landscapes one can admire when walking along the venetian walls. In the city there are also some parts remaining from the medieval period. However, the most essential role for the development of the city were the four centuries of Venetian command. Going through the “Piazza Vecchia” (Old Square) we can reach Cathedral Square. Here we can find a splendid Cathedral “Santa Maria Maggiore” with its renaissance pearl Colleoni’s Chapel. Other precious monuments of Bergamo include a large number of churches and monasteries. On the other hand, the lower town (Città Bassa) is the modern part of Bergamo.  There are about 117 000 citizens, not only Italians, but also people from all over the world who have made themselves at home here. They study, work and live in Bergamo and its province.
