BERGAMO HISTORY MUSEUM

The Bergamo History Museum is located inside the Rocca in Bergamo, Italy. It showcases the history of the city and its people, particularly focusing on their involvement in the fight for Italian independence. It highlights the significant contribution of Bergamo residents to Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand, which played a crucial role in Italian Unification. It is also known as the "City of the Thousand" due to this historical connection. Moreover, the entrance to the Rocca has evolved over time, originally requiring wooden ladders for access which could be removed for safety. Defensive architectural features like "caditoie" were utilized to repel potential attacks.
