The house is now partly incorporated into the nearby boarding house of the Ursuline nuns; also because of this proximity, the Venetian master produced stupendous works in San Michele al Pozzo Bianco<\/strong>, including the fresco cycle with Scenes from the Life of Mary<\/strong>, painted in 1525<\/strong> in the left side chapel. <\/p>\n This church is a real treasure if you love art: it contains some of the oldest frescoes in the Bergamo province and is an exceptional lesson in the history of local painting, from the very early 1200s to the late 1500s.<\/p>\n
\nPublic parking without reserved spaces is available 200 meters from the church at St. Michael’s Bastion. You can apply for a pass to park in the churchyard. <\/p>\n\n
\nThe pedestrian route from parking lots and bus stop is uphill or downhill with gradients between 8% and 10%, except for a short very steep section near the entrance. Pavements are herringbone stone and porphyry slabs, but tactile-plant markings are lacking. <\/p>\nENTER<\/h3>\n
