On Saturday 28 November 2026, the Library Commission of Cologno al Serio organises a guided tour of the Bernareggi Museum and the Ancient Cathedral of Bergamo, meeting at 15:15 at the entrance in Piazza Duomo 5, starting at 15:30. The tour is led by don Davide Rota Conti. The museum occupies the rooms of the Bishop's Palace, where paintings by Lotto, Moroni, Baschenis and Manzu' are displayed alongside frescoes, painted ceilings and artefacts unearthed during excavations. The visit continues in the Aula Picta, the bishop's audience hall frescoed in the 13th century, in the Baptistery with the eight marble reliefs by Giovanni da Campione, and in the Ancient Cathedral, beneath which the remains of a Roman Domus and the foundations of the early Christian Basilica are preserved. At the end, those who wish may stay for an aperitif in the Upper Town, at their own expense.
