Bergamo - Italian Movie Trips

This wealthy suburb north of Milan is divided into two sections on alternating planes. Upper Bergamo -- a fortified town center during Venetian rule -- requires a stately funicular ride to its narrow streets of university students, medieval palazzos, churches and museums, not to mention the incredible panoramic views over the surrounding parks and quiet city. Lower Bergamo was designed by a popular fascist architect, although the pedestrian-only, cobblestone streets, surrounded by hundreds of smaller, more modern shops and cafe's on either side is especially satisfying.
