The tranquility and charm of Cavernago

The video illustrates, even in a rather amateur way, how much a tourist in Cavernago, in the Bergamo hinterland, is peaceful and happy to visit a place characterized by nature, clear air and uncontaminated history. It is a modest village, with few inhabitants, but with a long past. This can be understood from the two castles it houses: the Castle of Cavernago and Malpaga, which testify to the strong medieval and feudal influence that the town has undergone. The castles are open to tourists and the Malpaga castle offers the possibility of sleeping in an inn, as well as of course visiting museums and period objects. But the list of things to do in Cavernago turns out to be even more extensive. For example, its narrow streets and beautiful churches should be emphasized. The Parish Church of Cavernago dates back to the 16th century and was once the private church of the Martinengo-Colleoni family, while the church of San Giovanni Battista in the small village of Malpaga dates back to the 15th century and houses precious works. The time spent in Cavernago should include a visit to the beautiful natural oasis of the river Serio. For those who like to associate the visit of a territory with the discovery of its food and wine traditions, Cavernago offers countless opportunities to delight the palate. From the most classic Cassoncelli, to the unmissable exquisitely filled ravioli, to the DOP Bergamo cheeses, just to name a few, such as the Formai de mut, the Bitto or the Lombard quartirolo from Alta Val Brebana. If you see it in winter, you cannot fail to try the phantom 'polenta'. In any case, Cavernago offers a combination of history, romance and nature (including food) that is worth discovering.
