  • My first night in Italy (on this trip), we went to the city of Bergamo. The city is located on the Pre-Alps, the foothills of the Alps. We spent the evening touring the <i>Cittą Alta</i>, or Upper City, the historic center of Bergamo. Unfortunately, the weather did not permit taking any pictures. This is one of the only pictures I managed to take of the <i>Cittą Bassa</i>, or Lower City. (Bergamo, 13 June 2007)
