Six months after the opening of the new Bernareggi Diocesan Museum in Bergamo
its permanent collection is enhanced thanks to an extraordinary donation that marks a turning point in the institution’s history
a leading figure in Bergamo culture and former vice president of the Adriano Bernareggi Foundation
decided to donate nine works by the 17th-century painter Evaristo Baschenis (Bergamo
A gesture of generosity and love for art that delivers to the public a very significant nucleus of the celebrated artist from Bergamo
known for his refined still lifes.The donation represents a unicum in the museum scene: in fact
it is the largest collection of works by Baschenis ever brought together in a museum
both in terms of the number of paintings and the variety of subjects and artistic periods represented
the result of more than 50 years of research and careful selection
cover the entire creative span of the painter and priest
offering a comprehensive and poetically coherent cross-section of his worldview
“The new Diocesan Museum,” explains Don Davide Rota Conti
“is in the home stretch and its collection is being enhanced by truly significant donations
I thank on behalf of the Diocese of Bergamo the donors for their generosity
These are gestures that testify to a deep connection with the Church of Bergamo
as well as a great passion for art and a desire to share beauty with their community.”
who was born in Bergamo in 1617 and died in 1677
He is universally recognized for his still lifes in which musical instruments
foodstuffs and books are interwoven in beautifully balanced compositions capable of narrating a domestic and profound spirituality
construct a narrative suspended between the human and the divine
where the common object becomes a symbol and existential reflection
The works will be housed in a monothematic room entirely dedicated to Baschenis
Prominent among the donated masterpieces is the still life with Flute with Beak
an exceptional painting both for its compositional complexity and for the prestige of its exhibition itinerary
in which the instruments are arranged in a unique pyramidal composition
has been featured in international exhibitions in São Paulo
revealed a previously unseen detail during restoration: under layers of paint and dust emerged the presence of a bouquet of flowers
The collaboration between Baschenis and Volo makes this painting a very rare piece
the only four-handed work by Baschenis known today
and its authenticity was strengthened by the discovery of a citation in the artist’s will
Also among the most curious works is Kitchen with Branches and Servant
where the protagonist is not a musical instrument but a set of copper pots
treated pictorially with the same attention and emotional depth reserved for musical subjects
A female figure also appears in this painting
among the very few in Baschenis’s artistic corpus and confidently attributed to his hand
never again replicated in the rest of his production
the withered bud and the sober arrangement of the objects suggest a “vanitas” imbued with melancholy and delicacy
an invitation to reflection on time and the transience of beauty
Completing the donated nucleus are five canvases of domestic settings
so-called “kitchens,” a subject very dear to Baschenis
Familiar elements chase one another in these works: plucked turkeys and chickens
all rendered with extraordinary skill and arranged against dark backgrounds that enhance the material and light
an autonomous interpretation that returns an ever-changing aesthetic experience to the viewer
The monothematic room that houses these masterpieces will be one of the focal points of the Bernareggi museum itinerary
allowing the public to discover or rediscover the complexity of an artist deeply rooted in the religious and civic culture of his time
A visual testimony to a 17th-century Bergamasque who was cultured
and extraordinarily contemporary in his way of speaking to the soul through the humblest object
the Bernareggi Diocesan Museum not only reinforces its vocation as a meeting place for art and spirituality
but also stands as a point of reference for the study and appreciation of Baschenis’s work
“This donation,” says Silvio Tomasini
“gives the Diocesan Museum the novelty of Evaristo Baschenis’s painting
It is an artistic testimony of extraordinary value: an authentic celebration of the genre of still life
to which Baschenis devoted himself almost exclusively and in a very refined way
The donation constitutes a very notable nucleus in the artist’s not numerous production
an extraordinary unicum for understanding 17th-century Bergamasque figurative culture.”
the military implemented a plan to combat degradation and crime in the area of the railway station
A “high impact” operation by the Carabinieri involved the area of the Bergamo railway station on the evening of March 7
with the aim of combating degradation and crime
divided into three teams coordinated by the Carabinieri Station of Bergamo Bassa with the support of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit and the Carabinieri Station of Bergamo Principale
five removals and one arrest in flagrante delicto
were reported to the Judicial Authority for failure to comply with the ban on returning to the municipality of Bergamo
resident in the Bergamo area and also already known to the police
he was reported for resisting a public official and refusing to declare his identity
together with two other people who were creating a disturbance in the area
received the order to leave imposed by the recent prefectural ordinance of February 27
which established the so-called "reinforced surveillance zones"
The military subsequently intervened in a violent fight between two men
a 29-year-old originally from Guinea and a 37-year-old Moroccan
both illegally staying in Italy and without a fixed abode
resulted in an attack with a knife: the 37-year-old struck the Guinean with a violent blow to the chest
made it possible to stop the aggressor still at the scene of the crime
avoiding even more serious consequences with the involvement of other possible victims
allowing the rescuers to provide immediate assistance to the victim who was urgently transported and admitted to the Humanitas Gavazzeni hospital in Bergamo with a reserved prognosis
The aggressor was arrested for personal injury and
The Judge for preliminary investigations subsequently validated the arrest
ordering the application of the measure of the ban on residence in Bergamo and the Province
The subject in question had already been the protagonist of similar conduct on 11 November 2024 near the Bergamo bus station
where on 2 January he was reported for the unjustified carrying of six knives
when during a new check in via Bartolomeo Bono he was found with two other compatriots all armed with knives and therefore reported at large

For its 99th edition the annual enduro of nations will return to Italy and a historic home for the sport in the north of the country next year
the ISDE was hosted by Italy for the first time in 1931 in Merano and most recently in Lombardy in 2021 – 2025 will make it a total of 12 times
Following this year‘s ISDE in Spain in October
the 2025 event will be the third time the historic Bergamo Moto Club has organised the competition following editions at San Pellegrino in 1968 and 1986
Moto Club Bergamo President Giuliano Piccinini said: “The Bergamo Moto Club is proud and above all honoured to have been selected by the FIM to organise the 2025 FIM ISDE
It will certainly be a demanding undertaking in all respects
but it will be done with passion and I would like to thank FIM President Jorge Viegas and FMI President Giovanni Copioli for giving us this opportunity.”
FMI President Giovanni Copioli stated: “Four years after the fantastic Italian Trophy and Junior Trophy win in Rivanazzano Terme
the FIM ISDE will be back in Italy in 2025 in Bergamo
where Enduro is one of the most loved and followed sports
we can feel the passion and culture of motorcycling
I want to thank the FIM for the trust shown in the Italian Motorcycle Federation and in the Bergamo Moto Club which
will organise an event that lives up to expectations.”
FIM President Jorge Viegas commented: “Italy has enjoyed such a long association with the sport that can be traced back to the very early days of the FIM International Six Days of Enduro
I am confident that this rich history along with the passion Italy as a nation so obviously holds for Enduro will result in a very successful
professionally-run event and I am very much looking forward to it.”
The biggest event on the global Enduro calendar

Data Centres
Duncan MacRae
Italy’s largest cloud provider and specialist in data centre
has acquired two hydroelectric power plants in the province of Bergamo
near the Global Cloud Data Centre in Ponte San Pietro
The new hydropower plants – ‘Paladina’ and ‘Ponte Briolo’ – share the same water intake on the Brembo river and are joined by a private adduction canal
They join the plant that was already present within Aruba’s Global Cloud Data Centre – also on the Brembo river – and the further four ones acquired by the company in 2020 in Melegnano (MI) on the Lambro river
in Chiuppano and Calvene (VI) on the Astico river and in Pontebba (UD) on the Fella
The entire network of Aruba’s hydroelectric power plants has a capacity of 9.2 MW for the production of clean energy and the expected annual output is approximately 50 GWh
The acquisition of the new hydropower plants is part of a broader strategy of the Aruba Group
which intends to continue to invest and increase its renewable energy production capacity in order to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible and to make the activities of the entire group sustainable
In addition to investment in hydroelectric plants
Aruba are also continuing investment in photovoltaic plants
The two new buildings DC-B and DC-C on the Ponte San Pietro campus
are clad with new-generation photovoltaic systems with a capacity of 1.2 MW and 1.3 MW
The data centres under construction on the new campus in Rome will also be clad with photovoltaic panels on all surfaces that have sufficient exposure to the sun
there is also a shared path with other companies at an international level: together with other European providers
Aruba is part of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact
a self-regulatory initiative that aims to make data centres in Europe climate neutral by 2030
The company is among the first data centre operators to have already certified its adherence to the Pact through an audit conducted specifically to measure its compliance with the goals
A historic commitment by the European cloud and data centre industry to proactively drive the transition to full energy sustainability
A further commitment Aruba have made involves participation in the European Green Digital Coalition
The aim is to invest in the development and deployment of sustainable and efficient digital services
develop tools to measure the impact of technologies on the environment and thus join forces for a ‘green’ digital transformation
said: “Energy consumption in the IT sector continues to grow at a high rate
which is why it is more essential than ever to aim for maximum energy efficiency and the production of energy from renewable sources
allows us to increase our capacity to produce clean energy and keep us in line with our long-term sustainability goals.”

Picture by 2024 Getty ImagesBy Rory JiwaniReigning US national champion Amber Glenn completed victory at the ISU Challenger Series Lombardia Trophy 2024 in Bergamo
but it was another American - Sarah Everhardt - who took second place on the day and overall
Georgia's 2023 European champion Anastasiia Gubanova was third in the free skate, but could not overtake the Japanese in the overall standings.
Skating to Audiomachine's 'I Will Find You', Glenn settled any pre-skate nerves with a fine triple Axel to start. And while her jumping in the second half of her routine was not as smooth, the 24-year-old did enough to record a second personal best score in consecutive days with 137.18. A big career-best total of 212.89 points signals what could be a breakout season for the skater who finished 10th at March's World Championships in Montreal.
Everhardt came desperately close to eclipsing her free skate personal best set at last month's Cranberry Cup, but her 132.77 was enough for her to break the 200-point barrier for the first time with a total of 201.90.
champion Amber Glenn on doing things her own way: ‘I want to make a change in the sport'At 24
Glenn is a first-time national champion a decade after winning in the juniors
She’s been open about her mental health struggles
Brother Marco Bergamelli still remembers exactly when the photo was created that would jolt Europe out of its ennui
During a walk through the central cemetery of Bergamo
he stops at the entrance: "They were parked here: one
The article you are reading originally appeared in German in issue 12/2025 (March 14th
The military trucks pulled up here 12 times during the first COVID-19 wave
loaded up by soldiers wearing plastic hazmat suits
The central cemetery simply wasn’t able to keep up with the cremation demands and the army vehicles were needed to bring dozens of dead bodies to crematoria in other parts of the country
Nobody was supposed to find out how large this pandemic really was,” says Brother Marco
But one local filmed the scene with his mobile phone
And a still from that video became the photo that revealed to the world that Bergamo was a corona hotspot
Brother Marco Bergamelli in the chapel of the central cemetery of Bergamo
is a frugal man with a biting sense of humor
And that year when the coronavirus arrived
he was one of the city’s leading crisis managers
He had been working at the central cemetery for more than 10 years by then
hearing confessions and conducting funerals
with a population of around a million people
As a central collection point for the dead
the Cimitero Monumentale became an epicenter of the pandemic
Nowhere in Europe did the virus claim as many lives at the beginning of the pandemic as it did here
And the region quickly became a symbol for the arrival of the virus in Europe – and for the fact that the European continent was no better protected than anywhere else in the world
The events in Italy also triggered fears in Germany of being overwhelmed by the disease
"the images from Bergamo” quickly became shorthand justification for restrictive measures to combat the spread of the virus
What marks did the crisis leave behind at this place
And what about the people whose family members were laid to rest here
measures 177,000 square meters and is the final resting place of around 190,000 people
There are imposing family graves decorated with elegant sculptures
346 private chapels and an area marked with colorful windmills in the western part of the cemetery for children
Benches and the occasional solitary cypress can be found where the paths intersect
On the east side of the grounds are fields for those who died in the resistance against Hitler and Mussolini and right at the edge is a crematorium that whistles loudly when in operation
Brother Marco has thrown a winter jacket over his brown robe
where 129 graves are packed closely together
all of them belonging to people who died in Bergamo during the coronavirus period
An additional 684 victims of that first corona wave between mid-February and late-May 2020
have been laid to rest elsewhere in the cemetery
Brother Marco steps up to a man wearing a stocking cap and holding a watering can in front of a grave
He lays a comforting hand on his shoulder and says a few words about corona and about the fact that people on social media have begun voicing doubts as to whether the military trucks really were full of coffins back then
"I don’t want to curse at a cemetery,” Giuseppe Mortellaro says
say it!” Brother Marco says in encouragement
A friendly 63-year-old with deep wrinkles around his eyes
Mortellaro doesn’t look like someone who frequently loses his temper
But he is furious with those people who deny the existence of the virus
Mortellaro is standing in front of parcel 159 in the first row of B1
Her resting place is covered by a simple slab of marble; the photo on the gravestone shows a woman with shimmering hair surrounding a resolute face
The graves of those buried in Campo B1 are all crowded next to each other
as are the dates when they died: March 2020
Most of them were senior citizens when they died
She was 88 years old when she died in a retirement home on April 10
Mortellaro says she was a strict mother – that if he didn’t obey the rules as a child
And Rota also had difficult relationships with her relatives
"She would turn little things that rubbed her the wrong way into huge problems,” he says
But she still loved being around others and
she "gave everything” to her grandchildren
Her niece placed a small sculpture on the grave depicting a tall person embracing a smaller one
Retiree Giuseppe Mortellaro at the central cemetery of Bergamo: "We didn’t even have time to throw a flower into the grave."
"I was lucky that I was able to visit her in the retirement home the day before her death
I had to wear white overalls over top of green ones
along with a mask and two pairs of plastic gloves
I got the call that she had died at around 5 a.m
The family had just a few hours to arrange her funeral
"Only at the cemetery did I understand what was happening
The two prayers we were allowed to recite lasted for about five minutes
We didn’t even have time to throw a flower into the grave.”
Mortellaro’s story is similar to those told by many in Bergamo: one of sudden loss and unprocessed trauma
The first corona patient in northern Italy was diagnosed on February 20
Rome ordered a complete lockdown in the town and the surrounding communities
doctors localized two cases of SARS-CoV-2 in the hospital in Alzano Lombardo in the beautiful Seriana Valley
just a few kilometers northeast of Bergamo
was reopened by the authorities just a few hours after it had been closed
a decision which turned the town into a superspreader for the surrounding area
It was the beginning of a series of miscues
in combination with local conditions – such as an aging population
lively trade with China and no shortage of air pollution due to its location in Italy’s industrial heartland – led to catastrophe
Mortellaro says that he lost around 20 family members and acquaintances during the pandemic
He has been receiving psychological support since then and continues to take part in self-help groups for the bereaved
It is as if his spirit was unable to keep up with the speed of the pandemic
Maria Rota’s gravestone is engraved with an orchid
we still are.” Mortellaro wipes a few tears from his face
"Those who are remembered never die.” He then gently strokes his mother’s photo
Giuseppe Mortellaro at the grave of his mother Maria Rota: "Those who are remembered never die."
"So many people experienced a loved one leaving home
convinced that they would return – but then they came back in an urn,” he says
Many family members weren’t even able to come to the cemetery
with the rules in Italy at the time requiring that contact persons remain in quarantine for 14 days
Some would simply wave at the hearse as it drove by
"We needed room for 600 caskets,” says Brother Marco
The dead had to be put somewhere before they were buried
and because the central cemetery could only handle 25 cremations per day at the most
the dead had to be quickly taken somewhere due to the danger of infection
and their urns could then later be picked up at the Cimitero Monumentale
which she inherited from her late father Claudio
A self-confident woman wearing elegant boots
blue eyes that quickly fill with tears as she talks
She hasn’t been to her father’s grave for half a year
because she was so busy caring for her younger sister
Claudio Longhini’s ashes are in a columbarium located in a kind of cave
and the space is filled with narrow compartments for the urns inside
each with a photo of the dead as is common practice in Italy
a vase of small plastic flowers next to it
Cristina Longhini in the car she inherited from her late father Claudio: "I have lost orientation in my life since his passing."
He sold cones to ice cream parlors; his customers were his friends
He was a grandfather who loved his grandchildren and was also involved in the local basketball team
He loved the sea and could never sit still
he called me 'Chicchi.’ I have lost orientation in my life since his passing.”
Longhini orders a hot chocolate in a café near the cemetery
The server recognizes her as a pharmacist who makes frequent appearances on television
I fell in love with my job.” Like many of her colleagues
she received training during the pandemic in giving vaccinations and recalls being celebrated with applause
"Those entering our profession still only earn a net monthly salary of 1,369 euros,” she says
She is no longer willing to accept the poor working conditions and has begun organizing protest marches
Talking about her father is an element of her activism
"I realized on March 7 that my father wasn’t doing well because he didn’t wish me a happy birthday
we were able to use social media to find a general practitioner who came to see him at home
My father’s oxygen level was just 65 percent
it had already become difficult to find an ambulance
and the one for my father came from a different town
He left his mobile phone and wedding ring at home for fear that they might be stolen
Claudio Longhini's final resting place: "The red symbolizes his zest for life
Cristina Longhini at the columbarium where the ashes of her father
are interred: "It still hurts that I couldn’t hold his hand as he died."
The public health system in Italy normally works quite well
But during the financial and economic crises beginning in 2008
apparently hadn’t been updated since 2006 by the time the pandemic struck
And when the first coronavirus wave rolled over the country
doctors fitted her father with a ventilation helmet
the family was unable to reach a doctor for an entire week
the day when the photo of the army trucks began circling the globe
she learned that her father had been taken to the emergency room for a tracheotomy
The family was told they had to find an intensive care unit to bring him to
exceeding the toll in China for the first time – and more than any other country in the world
Italy’s top health institute said at the time that the average age of the dead was 79.5 years
Cristina Loghini remembers speeding the 50 kilometers from Milan
she was handed her father’s personal effects in a garbage bag
including his pajama tops and a T-shirt covered in blood along with his glasses and health card
Cristina Longhini was shocked by the blood
The last time she saw her father was in the morgue
"I entered an empty room; he was lying in a zippered shroud
his eyes were still wide open and his nose was crusted with blood
I drove my car behind the hearse to the cemetery
but I couldn’t follow him any further than that
The fact that he had been taken 216 kilometers to Ferrara for his cremation is something I only learned when I got the bill for 500 euros.”
Claudio Longhini’s funeral took place on April 18 and lasted 15 minutes
I kept thinking that I would one day find my father sitting on the sofa again as he so often did
It still hurts that I was unable to find an intensive care unit and that I couldn’t hold his hand as he died.”
Shortly before Cristina Longhini got back into her car at the cemetery
She has a box full of her father’s things that she still keeps: a CD
A few hundred meters from Longhini’s grave
Those wishing to view his resting place straight on must make use of the wheeled ladder
A painted edelweiss adorns the plaque on his grave along with a photo of him hiking
talks about his father’s life at the table in his modestly furnished apartment just outside Bergamo and points to the empty chair to his left
is where his father was sitting on March 1
2020 – the last time the two of them shared a meal
a regional specialty that his father loved
he didn’t touch his food and his breathing was shallow
So Gianpietro took him to a doctor who then sent him to the hospital after a positive coronavirus test
Gianpietro Squinzi in his apartment in Bergamo: Mourning mixed with anger
Word was beginning to spread at the time that many people were suffering from respiratory illness and the first COVID-19 cases were being publicized
regional business leaders were trying to play things down and the Bergamo employers’ association launched a campaign under the hashtag #bergamoisrunning to oppose factory closures
Nobody really understood just how dangerous this virus was
Nor did they realize that the situation was about to get far worse
Squinzi remembers counting between 30 and 40 ambulances arriving during the four hours he waited in front of the clinic
he can still hear the wailing of the sirens today
Because his father had fallen asleep after being admitted
he decided not to disturb him and drove home
had been under quarantine since January 23
the Chinese authorities had largely got the situation back under control with the help of draconian measures put in place to stop the spread of the virus
The fact that Bergamo would soon be known as the "Wuhan of the West” also had to do with the fact that infections began spreading uncontrollably in the region far earlier than in other parts of Europe
And no pattern had yet been established for how democracies would deal with the pandemic
Italy was the first country in the pandemic to ban flights from China
But people continued traveling into the country from China via places like Zurich and Frankfurt
Squinzi says that he received regular phone calls from the hospital for 16 days
with the doctors assuring him that his father didn’t require intensive care
Bergamo became a "red zone,” a lockdown area – at the same time as the lockdown was implemented for all of Italy
Squinzi learned that his father had been transferred to a rehabilitation clinic in San Pellegrino Terme
telling him that his father had taken a turn for the worse
A doctor then asked Squinzi to arrange for an ambulance and a bed in intensive care
Squinzi says that he had already heard by then of plenty of others in the neighborhood who had made unsuccessful attempts
We’d been going to the mountains since I was a child
I think we would have succeeded in passing this test as well.”
Gianpietro Squinzi’s voice falters as he talks
I received the call that my father had died
They told me I needed to find an undertaker to pick up his body
And I asked if he had called for someone from the family during his final moments.”
Squinzi says he called all of the undertakers in Bergamo
his father’s body was kept in San Pellegrino Terme for five days at a cost of 150 euros
When his father was then interned in the Cimitero Monumentale in Bergamo five days later
Squinzi wasn’t allowed to go to the grave due to the risk of infection
Gianpietro Squinzi showing a photo of his father Emilio: "I am convinced that I will never be able to properly mourn."
Emilio Squinzi's grave: His photo shows him on a hike - his passion
It was quiet except for the freight elevator lowering the coffins
I was only able to visit his grave when the cemetery reopened in late May – and I found a stone without a name
They hadn’t even managed a mundane inscription
printed out a photo and a piece of paper with his name on it and attached it to the gravestone
According to a study carried out by the Italian statistical office
there were almost six times as many deaths in the province of Bergamo between February 20 and March 31 as there had been during that same time period one year earlier
The mistakes that were made during this time of intense strain have left behind scars on the psyches of many of those who lost loved ones
Cristina Longhini and others have formed an association of the bereaved and are suing the state
Squinzi is convinced that his father was forced to give up his hospital bed to a younger patient
Prosecutors in Bergamo conducted an investigation into negligent homicide against Italy’s then-prime minister
before suspending the investigation in 2023
an investigative committee in Italian parliament has been looking into emergency management practices during the pandemic
his friends pulled him out of bed to go on a hike
"I am convinced that I will never be able to properly mourn,” he says
we received canisters full of disinfectant
We were afraid that the virus would seep out of the coffins and infect us
We would cover the outside of the coffins with those golden insulating blankets that are used for refugees at sea.”

Leyla Ciagà wanted to have her mother with her
She is an only child and had a tight relationship with her mother
is an architectural historian at the Polytechnic University of Milan and was a member of parliament during the administration of Mario Draghi – a svelte
elegant woman who has received her guest in her apartment
Rosy Sanna Ciagà had been in a care home for a couple of years prior to the pandemic – and the home was closed to visitors in late February 2020
"I can’t even remember the day when I last saw her,” says Ciagà
they told me that I could no longer visit her
I asked why she hadn’t been taken to the hospital
and they told me that people who got sick in the care home were kept there because the hospitals were filled to overflowing
The worst thing was that I couldn’t be with her
"They told me that people who got sick in the care home were kept there because the hospitals were filled to overflowing."
Leyla Ciagà showing an issue of the local Bergamo paper from March 2020: "Nobody told me that my mother would be loaded onto such a vehicle."
Around half of those who died in Italy were from care homes and retirement homes
with the risk they faced having long been underestimated
those cases are collectively known as the "strage dei nonni” – the massacre of the grandparents
though he was never diagnosed with the virus
Rosy Sanna Ciagà worked as a lab technician in a clinic and loved traveling
had come to Italy to study architecture at the Polytechnic University
There was a deep contrast between the way they lived their lives and how they ended.”
Leyla Ciagà went to the care home hoping to at least see the coffin before it was taken to the church cemetery
But Rosy Sanna Ciagà’s body had already been loaded onto a military truck – the existence of which Leyla Ciagà only learned from the newspaper
"Nobody told me that my mother would be loaded onto such a vehicle
I was only able to pick up her ashes at the central cemetery several weeks later.”
Brother Marco returns to the church after his walk on this day in February

God is not vengeful; He doesn’t punish people

The new T2 tramway line between Bergamo and Villa d’Alme is expected to be commissioned in September 2026
The T2 tramway line is a new 11.5km line being built between Bergamo and Villa d’Alme as part of the existing Bergamo interurban tramway in Lombardy
The tramway is operated by Tramvie Elettriche Bergamasche (TEB)
TEB in collaboration with the Municipality of Bergamo developed the technical-economic feasibility project for the T2 Line in December 2018
following which the final design and development works commenced
The estimated investment in the project is €225.01m ($243.8m)
The project is expected to be completed in September 2026
It will have a travel time of 30 minutes between Bergamo and Villa d’Alme
The T2 Line will complement the existing T1 Bergamo-Albino line
which connects Bergamo’s urban centre with the Seriana Valley through 16 stations
leveraging its infrastructure and equipment
The new line will seamlessly integrate with public transport services in the urban area of Bergamo and extend to the suburban networks of the Brembana Valley and Imagna Valley
It will be used by an estimated 4.5 million passengers each year and is expected to reduce car traffic by 26 million km per year
The T2 Line will follow the route of the former Brembana Valley railway
It will pass through five municipalities: Bergamo
The T2 tramway line Bergamo – Villa d’Alme runs along a private
protected route featuring 23 at-grade crossings that accommodate both road traffic and pedestrians
The entire line will operate on a double track except for a section at the Ramera tunnel in Pontesecco where it will operate on a single track
The railway line will include a short tunnel at Pontesecco passing via Maresana
Antonio/Fabriciano passing through Drossi and Ca Fornaci
and underpasses at Viale Giulio Cesare and SS
one above the Morla stream and two above the Quisa stream
It will share the central Bergamo terminus and the first two stops of the T1 Line at Borgo Palazzo and San Fermo
The stations within Bergamo municipality include Bronzetti
The Bronzetti station will serve as the interchange between the two tramway lines
The stations within the Ponteranica municipality are Pontesecco and Ponteranica
and in the Sorisole municipality are Gres and Petosino
Paladina and Alme Volta are two stations in Alme municipality
while two more stations will be developed in the Villa d’Alme town at Villa d’Alme Mazzi and Villa d’Alme Capolinea
The stations will be developed parallel to the tramway line and can be accessed through two pedestrian passages
The stations will feature slightly sloping ramps
which will provide easy access to all users
TEB will construct seven interchange car parks
along with a 10km long bike path adjacent to the tramway
The bike path extending from San Fermo to Villa d’Alme will be 2.5m wide
It will integrate seamlessly with existing bike networks
The car parks will provide a total of 513 parking spaces
They will be situated close to the De Gasperi and S
The existing Ranica operations control centre will serve as the operational hub for both tram lines
focusing on optimising management and reducing costs
A new depot will be constructed along the T2 Line near the Petosino stop
Ten ForCity Classic low-floor trams developed by Skoda Transportation
The trams will be 33m long and can accommodate up to 281 passengers
In the densely urbanised stretch from Ponteranica to Bergamo
including 64 fixed seats and two folding seats that can be reversed to create spaces designated for wheelchairs
each vehicle features two designated spaces for passengers with reduced mobility
These spaces include a backrest and a belt lace system
a handrail to aid with boarding manoeuvres
and an intercom system for communication with the driver
The tram floor is constructed with durable materials that offer better water absorption resistance
while the handrail is made from brushed stainless steel
The trams feature an advanced anti-collision system
aimed at enhancing safety and protecting both passengers and pedestrians
The new trams will increase the Bergamo tramway fleet to 24
including the 14 already in service on the T1 Line
The project is funded by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport
along with other municipalities affected by the line
which includes 127 municipalities and four mountain communities
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is providing €151.5m ($165.5m) for the project
while the Lombardy Region will contribute €40m and the City and Province of Bergamo will provide €9.5m
Other municipalities along the route are providing €4m ($4.3m) and the BIM Consortium is contributing €3m ($3.27m)
The definitive study for the project was undertaken by a team of designers named RTI Tramsi comprising Italferr as the lead entity
Italferr was responsible for developing key components including depots
Architect Paolo Belloni provided design guidance concerning the architectural and landscape aspects of the buildings
the depot and railway stations at Bronzetti and Ponteranica
The executive project was prepared by the RTP consortium
which included Systra-Sotecni (as the lead)
SWS Engineering and Architecna Engineering
The contract for executing the project was awarded to the RTI consortium
Skoda Transportation and Impresa Edile Stradale Artifoni
The consortium is responsible for overseeing executive design, safety coordination, executing the construction works
and supplying tramway vehicles and equipment
Skoda will deliver ten bidirectional trams for the new line
along with a full-service commitment spanning three years
GCF will supervise the construction of the track works
signalling infrastructure and all aspects of plant engineering for the project
