Bergamo and Brescia, the Capital of Culture 2023, are Italy’s hidden treasures.
“A new awareness for Bergamo and Brescia”
“Both Brescia and Bergamo had to overcome many recent difficulties including the pandemic, but we have now been able to build up new awareness for our destination. This took concrete form in the choice of Brescia and Bergamo as Capital of Culture 2023," said Manuel Gabriele, director of Visit Brescia, speaking at the ITB in Berlin.
Brescia
Unique cultural and artistic hidden treasures
"The project does not end in 2023 but will progress over time on four levels. The first promotes a city of unique artistic and cultural hidden treasures. Then there is the new way of thinking about the two cities, thanks to the green landscaping trail between Bergamo and Brescia. And we have the Inventing City and the Cultural City. In the first case we are talking about innovation, and when it comes to culture the city is no longer designed for the tourist, but for its citizens which of course makes it attractive also for tourists.”
