Bergamo Romance - TRIP CODE: ALMENNI

Day dedicated to the visit of two of the four Romance Churches: San Tomé and San Giorgio Churches.

We are in the area called Agro di Almenno San Bartolomeo (Agro is Latin word for ‘countryside surrounding a town’). It is outside the settled area, but in the past the layout of the Rezia military road passed nearby; here there was most certainly a Roman necropolis, as witnessed by the finding, in 1988, of a tomb dating back to first century b.C., and perhaps a small pagan temple with a rectangular plan, dedicated to the god Silvan.

In the morning guided visit of San Tomè. S. Tomè is a Romanesque monument with a circular plan, extremely rare in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and calls to mind only very few other churches, such as S. Lorenzo in Mantova and the Duomo in Brescia.

Lunch with typical menu.

In the afternoon guided walking for San Giorgio Church. Previously standing alone in the fields, this solidly constructed church preserves a splendid cycle of frescoes dating back to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, one of which depicts the great St. George on his white horse. These frescoes are considered the most important example of medieval painting in the Bergamo area.

Term of the services.

The itinerary can be enriched with the visit of Madonna del Castello Monumental Complex, three Churches of different epochs:  Crypt, San Salvatore Pieve and Sanctuary.
