Bergamo. The place.

I spent five days in Bergamo some weeks ago. I went there to attend the 8th European VT meeting. 

Here you can see the "Campanone". This tall bell tower overlooks piazza Vecchia.

Piazza del Duomo is joined to piazza Vecchia. Here you find the cathedral, _Sain Maria Maggiore basilica, the Coolleoni chapel and the baptistery. In this pic you can see the facade of Colleoni chapel.

This is one of the entrances of Santa Maria Maggiore basilica.

Here's another entrance of the basilica.

I didn't do any shopping in Bergamo, but I did lot of window shopping!

Casoncelli. It's a typical first course in Bergamo. Pasta filled with meat and herbs.

Bergamo alta (Upper Bergamo) is surrounded of around six kilometers of walls built by the Venetians in the XVI century.

_From the walls you can enjoy a 360 degrees panorama on the lower part of Bergamo.
