Palazzo Moroni

Where
Via Porta Dipinta, 12, Bergamo

We are in the heart of Bergamo Upper City, in a 17th building preserving all its splendour, and an Italian-style garden that became a charming park: this is Palazzo Moroni. 

 

The Moroni family owns and lives in this building, which still retains the original structure. Inside it, you can observe the family’s great passion for art, with frescoes halls and 17th-19th century furniture, still preserving the Moroni Collection - a wide selection of paintings by Albino Giovanni Battista Moroni and by other important artists.
The beauty of this building continues on the outside. The villa overlooks the Italian-style gardens, developed adjacent to the Colle di Sant’Eufemia, and designed on terraces with amazing views of the surrounding nature. 
Apart from the gardens, Alessandro Moroni’s passion for agronomy led to the creation of the vegetable garden, with the famous mulberry trees, a symbol of the Moroni family.
Moroni Gardens.
Palazzo Moroni and its Gardens are open to the public every day of the week. Here, visitors will experience the historical and artistic heritage of this 17th-century building, and the calm of its terraced gardens, protected since 2020 by the FAI - Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano
Arranged over three levels and framed by a scenic balcony, the gardens still retain the classic mark of Italian garden art, and are divided into: The Formal Gardens, with sculpted boxwood hedges and a central fountain. The Historical Orchard, which houses ancient apple and pear trees varieties. And then the Roccolo, a rare example of plant-based architecture, a ring of intertwined hornbeam, which was used for bird hunting in former times.
On top of the trail, the neomedieval tower rises as a silent mood room, the Count’s hideaway and a watchtower over Bergamo. All around it, shadowed pergolas, orchards, and scented flowers and vineyards tell the story of a lovingly-cared-for landscape. An oasis suspended between city and sky, where strolls become a rite, and every corner inspires visitors to rediscover nature. An actual secret garden to explore leisurely.
