Clusone, the city of art
It's only 21.13 miles from Bergamo, the capital of the province and just 2 miles from Songavazzo, my "travel headquarters." It is the most important town of the Serriana Valley.
My opinion in few words is " what a beautiful town!" This small town has everything. It is so sophisticated, organised, clean with beautiful shops, romantic bars, restaurants, small family hotels, stone portals, loggias, courtyards, and fountains. This is definitely a city of art.
Planetary clock under reconstractions Walking through its streets, visitors are led to the monumental complex of the Basilica of Saint Assumed Maria, which dominates the city. I was fascinated with the numerous frescoes on the facades of the old palaces and religious buildings that have given famous Clusone the name of "painted city." The whole city is full of important with world famous monuments, starting from the well-known 12th century "Planetary Clock Fanzago" which tells the time anticlockwise. City Hall Palace has extraordinary frescoes and the Oratory of Discipline has a unique fresco representing three iconographic medieval themes of Death, the Triumph, the Death dance, and the Meeting Between the Living and the Dead.
The death dance I could continue to tell you about everything there but you should visit this "art city" yourself. I will be glad to organize a day excursion for you to visit this worthwhile city. This is the place of many cultural events such as the Art Festival in April, Jazz Festival in July, the famous February Carnival, Choral Music Festival in March, Festival of Contemporary Theatre in October, and the famous City Fiesta in August.
