Discover Urgnano

 
Urgnano is a charming small town located in the northern Italian province of Bergamo. With roots going back to Roman times, Urgnano offers a unique blend of history and culture. The centuries-old piazza still stands as the heart of the town and its old stone houses whisper stories from days long gone. This quaint community is also known for its delicious cuisine, with traditional dishes such as casoncelli alla bergamasca and polenta taragna.

When visiting Urgnano, be sure to take some time to explore its remarkable architecture. Highlights include the Gothic-style Oratorio di San Liberale church and Palazzo Tozzoni from 1601 which now houses several interesting art galleries. A walk through downtown will bring you to Via Dante Alighieri with its colorful shop fronts, cafes, bars and restaurants teeming with activity day or night.

Nature lovers should venture up into the surrounding mountains where they can enjoy scenic hikes or mountain biking trails amidst breathtaking views of lakes, forests and meadows filled with wildflowers in summertime. Be sure not to miss out on a visit to Lago d'Iseo - one of Italy's most beautiful alpine lakes - while you're in Urgnano!
