Holiday apartment in Verdellino: culture, market and history

The oldest archaeological evidence of Verdellino is a fragment of a Roman inscription set into the rear façade of the parish house. The fragment mentions the gens Statii. If you choose a holiday apartment in Verdellino, this specific find can form the cultural and historical focus of your trip.

Local produce and special occasions for your trip

A weekly market with fresh and natural products takes place on Piazzale Newton on Thursday mornings. It complements the historical themes with a recurring occasion centred on local products. Another facet is Armonia al Parco, an annual event dedicated to psychophysical well-being, body care and holistic disciplines. As part of this event, outdoor yoga sessions are planned. The market is therefore part of the regular weekly rhythm, while Armonia al Parco, as an annual event, provides a different timeframe for a stay in Verdellino.

Sant’Ambrogio and the history of the town

The church of Sant’Ambrogio was consecrated on 9 September 1899. A new church had already been built in 1890 to a design by the architect Virginio Muzio; parts of the previous building were incorporated into the new presbytery. During the consecration, the relics of Saints Alessandro and Bonifacio were placed in the high altar. A distinctive architectural detail is the moulded portal made of stone from Brembate, crowned by a curved pediment interrupted in the centre.

Verdellino once had a castle belonging to the Suardi family. In the park surrounding the Santuario della Madonna dell’Olmo grows the elm that gives the sanctuary its name. The Biblioteca Civica “Don Lorenzo Milani” is also one of the town’s specific points of interest: it has an entrance accessible to people with disabilities and corresponding parking facilities.

Getting there and choosing your holiday apartment

Those reaching Verdellino from Venice via the A4 can exit at Dalmine and continue in the direction of Dalmine–Osio Sotto. For arrivals from Milan and Bergamo, Verdello–Dalmine railway station is the direct train arrival station. In addition, the e-BRT project provides for a route connecting the intermodal transport hub at Bergamo railway station with the FS railway station in Verdellino. It runs via Dalmine, serving Bergamo, Lallio, Dalmine, Osio Sopra, Osio Sotto and Verdellino, and also serves the Kilometro Rosso science and technology park.

This allows you to choose your holiday apartment according to different interests: culture and architectural history, a market visit with fresh produce, or a stay centred on well-being and holistic disciplines each create their own focus. The various travel information also provides a basis for organising your personal plans between car, train and a future e-BRT connection that is planned.
