Villages And Traditions

The saying goes that every cloud has its silver lining… and this is very true of the Brembana Valley! The abandoned villages have lain undisturbed for centuries and can therefore be admired today in still much their original state.

The itineraries in the valley

From the Venetian period to the Belle Époque

This itinerary is a veritable trip through history and its architecture, the fascination of how stone was fashioned in each period with taste and craftsmanship that seems lost today, despite the advantages of modern technology. Many events connected with illustrious guests, mysterious happenings and ambitious projects seem far removed from the present, even though some only occurred little more than a century ago. So we set out to discover San Pellegrino Terme of the Belle Époque, rural, peaceful Bracca , once a competitor in terms of mineral water, and finally Serina - Venetian, religious and artistic. This itinerary is by car, but may also induce you to take side-trips on foot through the natural beauty of the lower Brembana Valley and Serina Valley on interesting, effortless walks.
