Excursion to Monte Linzone from Roncola S. Bernardo

Mount Linzone

Excursion as easy as profitable, especially from a panoramic aspect. The coastal of Monte Linzone is in fact the first significant elevation of the Orobic prealps, with its sweet and verdant summit dome overlooking the underlying Bergamo plain, a thousand meters lower. The trip is feasible almost all year round, except in the case of heavy snowfalls, however rare now.

From the town of Roncola San Bernardo, one of the most famous tourist resorts in the province (20 kilometers from Bergamo, altitude 858 meters), you start to follow the steep paved road that leads to the cemetery. Continue straight, until beyond the end of the road, entering a comfortable signposted path. Having come out of the woods, and passed a wavy lawn with a large cabin, the most strenuous stretch of the trip begins: a wide but steep rocky and gravel channel, which requires a minimum of caution. At its end, you reach the spectacular ridge of the mountain, where the view opens onto the Imagna Valley below and the entire Orobie chain in the background.

Now bending to the left, continue along the easy and undulating summit ridge, until you reach the wide grassy dome of the summit, on which is placed a large iron cross: Monte Linzone, altitude 1392 meters, 1.30 hours from the start. The return takes place along the route followed uphill, and takes about an hour.

The panorama is of those who are not easily forgotten, and it is rightly famous: the Val San Martino, which sinks for a thousand meters below us, the entire Po Valley, closed by the nuanced chain of the Apennines; on the opposite side the Imagna Valley lying at our feet, with the Orobie chain in the background, in a succession as far as the eye can see valleys and peaks.
By completing the excursion in the months of May and June, it will also be possible to admire in all its beauty the flowering of daffodils: a bloom so extraordinary to the point that, until the 1960s, on these meadows took place the traditional as indispensable “narcisata”, a sort of race for those who collected the biggest and most beautiful decks. According to chronicles of the time, on May 1, 1960, something like twenty thousand people counted on the meadows of Roncola San Bernardo! If we think that, at the time, the access road was not yet paved — it would have been only three years later, in 1963 — we can understand how popular this real “party of spring.”

Excursion to M. Canto Alto dalla fraz. M. by Nese

Monte Canto Alto

Canto Alto can be rightly defined as the “mountain of Bergamo” par excellence: clearly visible from the city, with its unmistakable silhouette, it can also be reached by having only half a day off. Passable almost all year round, except in the case of heavy snowfalls, the trip is characterized by the vast and suggestive panorama visible from the summit, on which stands a giant iron cross, built in 1979 and visible tens of kilometers away. While easy, the hike requires a minimum of experience and attention in the last steep stretch on the ridge.

From the town of Alzano Lombardo, at the entrance of the Val Seriana, you can reach the hamlet Monte di Nese, at 800 meters above sea level, in a beautiful panoramic position (about 20 kilometers from Bergamo). From the new parish church we continue briefly along the paved road, and then take on the left a mule track, which soon leads to a marked pass, called the Forcella.

Then turn left, starting to cross with a few ups and downs the steep northern slopes of Monte Cavallo, immersed in a thick forest.
You then reach a wide and rounded meadow hill — the Canto Basso — from which you continue in a west direction along the comfortable ridge, which later turns into a ridge, sometimes steep and bumpy. With a little effort and attention, we finally take you to the wide summit of Canto Alto, with its colossal cross: 1146 meters altitude, 1.30 hours from the start. The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes about 1.15 hours. In
the dark centuries of the Middle Ages, in the midst of the bloody disputes between Guelphs and Ghibellines, exactly on the top of the mountain, by virtue of its exceptional strategic position, a real and own fortress, repeatedly documented. Probably had to be a fortified structure of considerable size, as demonstrated by some excavations carried out in 1978, which brought to light among other things a cistern for the rainwater collection, an indication of the presence of an unlimited group of soldiers.

It should also be noted that we are in the heart of the Parco dei Colli, an important protected area that in recent decades has had the great merit of preserving almost intact the vast and suggestive a succession of hills that surround the city of Bergamo to the north.

Crespi d'Adda Village, Bergamo

View of the village with the working houses

In the province of Bergamo, near Trezzo d'Adda, a bit hidden between the Brembo and Adda rivers lies this extraordinary village. The result of the commitment of the Crespi family, cotton industrialists, more than a century ago. In 1878 Cristoforo B. Crespi decided to build in that green corner, near the water and a bit isolated, a modern factory. Unlike other industrialists, Crespi believed that a comfortable and quiet life was of vital importance for the workers and for the proper functioning of the factory. He had three buildings built together with the plant for the workers who worked in the cotton mill. His son Silvio, returning from his studies in Great Britain, proposed the construction of a real workers' village. Houses complete with external services and garden were built. The families were large and they found enough space in the beautiful, comfortable homes. The gardens were charged for a vegetable garden, so people became almost self-sufficient and had something to do beyond work. The village was slowly completed completely. Nothing was missing. The church full of frescoes and the house of the parish priest not far away, near the doctor's house. Public toilets, a laundry room, a grocery store, a hospital and even a school.
The Crespi especially cared for the education of young people. The school days were long and in addition to normal subjects, the children were also taught the techniques of working in the factory. The management also lived in the village but in beautiful villas, one different from the other. The Crespi family built the Castle, a large medieval villa next to the factory. Nothing was missing, a short distance from the village, there was the cemetery with the mausoleum for the master family. This beautiful place remained as it was then, with so many houses still inhabited by descendants of the old workers. Ordered and clean remains a unique country, to be visited without a doubt.

Monza, the city of Queen Theodolinda

Monza, Villa Reale

Queen Theodolinda, of German origin, was very important for the city of Monza.
Theodolinda was given his wife to the Lombard king Autari for political reasons as usual then.
The Queen was very beautiful as evidenced by the paintings in the Chapel and won the trust of the people. It was very much loved by the people of Monza that gifts chose as a summer residence. The pagan king converted to Christianity thanks to the influence of his believing wife and his son was baptized in Monza.
Also in Monza he had a church built, the current Cathedral. The place was chosen in a particular way: the Queen had promised to dedicate a church for St. John the Baptist but she did not know where. One day, riding with his escort along the Lambro River, he stopped to rest. She fell asleep and in the dream she saw a pigeon standing near her talking to her, saying, 'Way', here. She answered 'Etiam', yes, and so was defined the place to build the church. The two words together formed the first name of the city, namely Modoetia.
The Duomo is beautiful, but there is nothing left of the original construction. During the 13th and 14th centuries it was completely redone. The marble façade with white and green bands is very beautiful and richly decorated. The bell tower was built in the 16th century.
Inside is the Chapel of Theodolinda full of colorful frescoes that in 45 scenes tell the story and life of the famous queen.
In the altar of the chapel there is a display case containing the Iron Crown, a crown with a very special story that was brought by the queen but also by Napoleon.
Protected in its case, the ancient, precious crown sparkles in the light of lighting. It's really pretty and studded with precious stones. It was used for the coronation of the kings of Italy until the 19th century. It is said that the crown contains one of the nails of the crucifix of Christ. Therefore, the crown is also revered as a relic.
