Located at the entrance to the Imagna Valley, in the province of Bergamo, Almenno San Bartolomeo is a village developed among meadows and woods, within the Romanesque Park, formerly called “Lemine,” and offers an evocative itinerary among architectural beauties of Romanesque art: places to be discovered on foot or by bicycle, through hikes and guided tours. It is an area essentially devoted to agriculture since time immemorial, as evidenced by the remains of rural settlements still present. The village is united with Almenno San Salvatore by a bridge that crosses the Tornago, a stream that divides the two towns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
