Italy's beautiful unknowns

By bliba  
The pearl of Lombardy

At the foot of the Alps, where the mountains merge into the Po Valley, lies one of the most beautiful cities in Italy: Bergamo.

If you are heading towards Milan, Bergamo is often left behind - a mistake, because the medieval old town is one of the most beautiful in Lombardy.Italy's beautiful unknown

thanks for looking

A superb street scene, Ollie, and an interesting recommendation of an old town - one for the list. I'm out of awards, otherwise this would certainly have had one.

Your photographs always teach us something unknown, something new.
And in Italy the sun is king . . . .

Sounds like my sort of place - and relatively free of tourists. I think we would have passed fairly close to here on the coach, on our way to Lake Garda. A fine street candid here, Oliver 👍
