Moio De' Calvi


Description

Moiode' Calvi is an Italian town of 213 inhabitants in the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy. Situated in the higher Val Brembana, it is about 40 kilometres north of the capital of Bergamo. A small village nestled among the mountains, it does not include episodes of depth in its history. History made by the daily life of its inhabitants, who have always been dedicated to the work that nature offers, from breeding to the production of charcoal. The hillock of Moio was chosen as a holiday residence by the noble Calvi family of Venetian origin, who had a large hunting reserve in the area. In the long run, some of their descendants settled there permanently, integrating with the local residents who were dedicated to the farming activity. And in fact, even today, next to articulated rustic peasant architecture and arcades, typical of the valley, you can still see other buildings of superior tone, with decorations and friezes that can be traced back to the Venetian style.
