Our tour starts from Alzano wonderful, a wonderful reality that is located on the right bank of the River Serio , the mouth of the valley Seriana , between the confluence of Luio and Nesa and is dominated by ridges culminating in the mountains Zuccone , collar and Ganda .
already inhabited in the sixth century BC by populations of origin Ligurian and from 400 BC also of Celtic origin , Alzano center was named after the Roman definition Praedium Alicianum (Podere anchovies) assigned to Alicia Gens. Another hypothesis on the derivation of the name is Altius, name of a Roman colonist.
should keep in mind as Alzano is also composed of the villages Nese, which includes Monte di Nese and Olera .
What you breathe Alzano atmosphere is mixed among the nobility of the main streets (in particular via Mazzini that leads us straight to the Basilica of San Martino, but let's not forget the streets Locatelli, Salesian and Fantoni, with their magnificent and princely houses) el'operosità the streets, where the noble life of the city is its support daily reality and where there are famous across the nation, such as maps Paolo Pigna.
The first advice I'd give spontaneously to a tourist visiting these parts is to visit the beautiful sling minor basilica of St. Martin of Tours , with frescoes of Vincenzo Angelo Orelli , the great pulpit designed by Giovan Battista Caniana , is a collaborative effort of Andrea Fantoni of Rovetta with his brothers Andrew and Gian Giacomo Manni of Rovio which are also assigned to the altar that the Cross and pallium the small altar at the St. Boniface presbytery. Among the outstanding quality stucco architectural decoration of the Chapel of Rosario dated 1764, by Muzio Camuzio .
Alzano But it is very much more, the Sacred Art Museum San Martino for example, or The Sacristy , with the cycle of the stucco decorations of Giovanni Angelo Sala of Lugano grand portal and the black marble from the two vestries of Bartolomeo Manni of Rovio.
not enough? Go then to make a tour to the Church of Santa Maria della Pace with the fourteen Stations of the Cross the painter Giuseppe Antonio Felice Orelli of Locarno .
The list of places worth a visit would be very tedious very long list, not I get bored too: For the Town Hall, Pelandi Palace, Palazzo Locatelli, Villa and Carlo Pesenti Oratory in Montecchio, Villa Augusto Pesenti with park, stables and "greenhouse-salon" and "Castle" Belvedere Nese.
