PROPOSED
ITINERARY
A unique city in northern Italy in two distinctive parts, one high and one low,
almost entirely surrounded by hills and lawns which have been its constant
companion. A Roman municipium much desired by Caesar and a powerful
city in medieval times, Bergamo became “the other Venice” from the
1400s. It is a treasure chest of unrivalled beauty situated where the
northern plain meets the foothills of the Alps where history, art and
nature weave a fascinating web to be discovered around every corner.
The proposed route for Arketipos – I Maestri del Paesaggio - aims to
retrace the glorious history of this unique city through works of art,
monuments and exclusive glimpses of the city’s treasures, of its
streets and inhabitants who over the centuries have made it what
it is with their culture and hard work thus allowing it to grow
while preserving its beauty.
The Città Alta tour costs
€ 10,00 + VAT ( € 12,10).
Minimum number of participants per group 15,
maximum 30. Estimated duration: 3 hours
i.land PROPOSED ITINERARY
i.land is the ornamental agricultural park
designed by Studio GPT - Giardini Paesaggio
Territorio, situated at i.lab, the new Centre
for Research and Innovation belonging to the
Italcementi group.
The concept behind i.land was born out of
a desire to unite the architecture of the i.lab
building, designed by the American architect
Richard Meier, with the culture and geogaphy of
the Bergamo area, innovation meeting tradition
which in modern terms translates into sustainability,
biodiversity, and “chilometro zero (an Italian term
coined to describe locally sourced, low impact
materials). It is from this natural dynamic that the
project has been enriched and created.
