San Giovanni Bianco

San Giovanni Bianco occupies a narrow reach of the Brembo Valley in Lombardy, where the Brembo River runs between the Prealps north of Bergamo. The municipality belongs to Val Brembana, a long mountain valley whose settlements developed along routes connecting Bergamo with upland communities. Its historic centre follows the river corridor, while outlying hamlets climb the wooded slopes in the dispersed pattern typical of this part of the province. In Oneta, a hamlet of San Giovanni Bianco, the Casa di Arlecchino recalls the local tradition linking the Commedia dell’arte character Harlequin to the valley. The old Via Mercatorum, a trade route through the Bergamo valleys, also passes through the area.
