The “Art Nouveau and More” itinerary is a cultural journey designed to accompany citizens and visitors to discover the rich historical and artistic heritage of San Pellegrino Terme. It is a journey to discover the Italian Belle Époque, when the town became an international resort, and in which architecture, nature and well-being were intertwined, giving rise to one of the most striking Art Nouveau complexes in the country.

The itinerary enhances a wide selection of points of interest-from the Casino to the Grand Hotel, from the funicular to the railway stations, passing through historic villas, porticoes, bridges and ancient paths-telling how San Pellegrino Terme has managed, over time, to combine elegance and modernity. Here, the charm of Art Nouveau coexists with a contemporary model of wellness and relaxation, in which historic architecture dialogues with the nature of the Brembo and the services offered by the city, bringing out a unique identity in the Italian tourism scene.

The trail is usable year-round, suitable for everyone and can be walked independently, with families, couples or small groups. Various information materials are available to facilitate the experience:

  • downloadable GPX track, to follow the route with a smartphone or GPS;
  • Free paper map, which can be picked up at the Infopoint or participating establishments;
  • Illustrative bulletin boards along the way;
  • descriptive signs at each Point of Interest, for more in-depth history and curiosities.

Liberty and beyond invites visitors to experience San Pellegrino Terme with a different outlook: not only as a spa resort, but as a place where wellness, landscape, culture and historical memory meet, offering visitors a complete and conscious experience.

The initiative is realized with the contribution of the Province of Bergamo and was created with the aim of promoting and enhancing the cultural heritage of the area, making it accessible and usable in every season.

An itinerary to be explored at leisure, letting the charm of Art Nouveau and the timeless beauty of San Pellegrino Terme guide you.
