An itinerary to discover lower Bergamo West which includes the territories of Brignano, Pagazzano and Caravaggio, under the possession of the Visconti family first, and then on to the Spanish domination.

 

This geographical area extends between the rivers Adda and Serio, in an area where there are many springs, so much some the name of the plains took on the name "irrigua" or "irrigated".

A circular itinerary that starts and finishes in Brignano Gera d'Adda. The itinerary is completely flat. The path goes through the area of Bergamo that was under the rule of the Visconti and then the Spaniards until the arrival of Napoleon Bonaparte. Along the path its possible to admire the extraordinary but very extraordinary but not very well known monuments such as the Castle of Pagazzano or Visconti Palace in Brignano Gera d'Adda.
