Badger and Postal History Museum

What to see in Cornello dei Tasso, Bergamo, Lombardy


This is an atypical museum, here have been preserved over the years all the letters related to the Tasso family where you can make a real excursus in the history of the postal service.
Inside the museum you can find the first postal item franked with the stamp known to history as "Penny Black".
The Tasso family is linked to the postal world because they themselves made an important contribution to the birth of the postal system, taking their cue from the fact that they had been postal couriers for the Serenissima for years.
Entrance to the museum is free.
