In the Bergamo pre-Alps, there is a mill dating from 1672, which has also been a bakery, a dairy and a blacksmith’s shop. Voted as one of the “Italian Places I Love” by the local community in 2003, it was acquired by FAI thanks to a donation.
The “Maurizio Gervasoni” Mill is usually open to the public during the summer season during weekends.
