Summary
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Italy's major cities and head to charming Bergamo in the foothills of the Italian Alps. This small and picturesque city was an ideal base for our guest Dianne Bortoletto who attended a language school in the city and explored the surrounding area in her free time.
From Bergamo, you can reach the famous lakes (as well as some delightful lesser-known ones), discover Franciacorta wine country and relax in a day spa that sounds nothing short of incredible. You'll learn exactly where to find all these experiences in this episode of Untold Italy.
