Hi everyone, I'm Marco. It is always a pleasure for me to share our story, that of the family and of my beautiful city, to talk about what I love and about my collections. I work in the theater, which is my passion, and on stage I can also experience the stories of others and make them my own.

Tour description

Romantic "vertical" tour by candlelight in an ancient private tower house in Città Alta, the historic center of Bergamo, a residence that has belonged to my family for many generations. From the ground floor, of medieval origin, we will reach the two upper floors through stairs and landings, experiencing firsthand the historical evolution of the building, but also of the city of Bergamo itself. Then we will immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the interiors, illuminated as in ancient times with candles, a unique experience that will allow us to learn firsthand about the customs and lifestyle of past eras. You will see furniture, paintings, and collections ranging from the Renaissance to the early years of the last century. During the visit, I will tell you anecdotes and curiosities about Bergamo and how life used to flow there. You will feel as if you are reliving times once lived firsthand, surrounded by familiar objects and family relics, an experience that will make you love our beautiful city and its most secret peculiarities even more. Finally, from the windows of the top floor, while the view spans the rooftops, the Lower City, and the profile of the Orobic Prealps, we can stylishly conclude our "vertical" tour by drinking, always by candlelight, a typical Bergamo "grappino" liqueur, a pomace brandy made with grapes produced and vinified exclusively in Italy.
