Fino Del Monte: High Plateau, Culture and Valle Borlezza

Landscape and Family Time

Fino Del Monte is located on the Clusone high plateau and overlooks Valle Borlezza. Parco Via Res can be reached via a footpath from Fino Del Monte and features play equipment for children. This allows you to add a specific excursion to your travel plans that is also interesting for younger members of your group.

Discover Architectural History and Art

Il Convento has a characteristic cloister with brick arcades and columns made of Sarnico stone. Their capitals feature typical 15th-century ornaments. Il Convento was founded before 1520 by Caterina, the daughter of the Bergamo citizen Giovanni, son of Simeone Da Fin. The courtyard is accessed through a Romanesque-style stone portal, above which there is a 15th-century fresco. The building’s form, materials and foundation history give this historic site a precise profile.

The Chiesa parrocchiale dedicata a S. Andrea Apostolo is a building in the Neo-Renaissance style. Construction began in 1903, and it was consecrated in 1911. The main altar bears Moroni’s altarpiece from 1577, depicting the Madonna, Jesus, Saint Andrew and Saint Peter. It also houses Carlo Ceresa’s painting “The Deposition” from 1650. This brings architecture and several art-historical highlights together in one place of worship.

The Castello di Fino del Monte adds a historical perspective with its preserved masonry. Its northern façade retains the best-preserved section of the old wall made of Ceppo blocks. The portico appears to be the oldest part of the building and may date back to the 13th century. This cautious dating in particular makes the building an intriguing detail for visitors who enjoy reading historical traces directly from the architecture.
