Bergamo is a city in Lombardy, Italy. It is situated about 40 km northeast of Milan and 30 km from the lakes Como and Iseo. The foothills of the Bergamo Alps begin immediately north of the town.
The town has two centres: “Città alta” (upper city), a hilltop medieval town, surrounded by 16th-century cyclopic defensive walls, and the “Città bassa” (lower city). The two parts of the town are connected by funicular/cable car, roads, and foot-paths.
