Preparations are in full swing for the Project BGBS2023 (Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023), the initiative that will see Bergamo and Brescia unite in a single capital to become the reference point for Italian culture in the desire to grow together and promote territories, people and traditions. A union called 'illuminated city' that will be officially inaugurated in the three days of celebrations (20-21-22) scheduled for January.
In these two important capitals of Lombardy, we will soon be able to enjoy various proposals related to art, science, history, music and much more. For the occasion a dedicated online platform (BergamoBrescia2023) that guides users in booking upcoming events and consulting hotels, restaurants and clubs. As the flow of tourists is expected to increase, it is better not to be caught unprepared!
