Caterina Boccalatte: Bergamo, Italy

Bergamo is the city in which I was born and I currently study. 

It is divided in two parts: the uppertown and the downtown and I live exactly in between. The uppertown is the more historical part, while the downton has more shopping to offer.  

Here some images from the uppertown: 

         

My favourite place to have gelato in the uppertown is "La Marianna". It is a confectionary shop and a restaurant in which the Stracciatella flavour was born! (If you're not familiar with it: it's cream with giant chocolate flakes). 

    

Finally, my favuorite place is probably La Rocca, a fourteenth century fortification that was also used during the two world wars ( and in which also the famous italian poet Quasimodo stayed) from which you can have a wonderful view of the uppertown while having picnic with your friends.
