Design, history, art and architecture intertwine in the 2015 edition of DimoreDesign Bergamo: the tour of Historic Homes, specially opened to the public every Sunday from 6 to 27 September. For the occasion, five leading Italian designers – Franco Raggi, FormaFantasma, Luigi Serafini, Marco Ferreri and Luigi Baroli – interpret five historical sites in the city.

Every Wednesday until 7 October there are encounters and conversations with the protagonists of the project. Between traditions and contaminations, homes, installations and design meet and establish a dialogue in the most fascinating places in Bergamo.

Tour Dimore Storiche
Palazzo Moroni, Palazzo Terzi, Palazzo Agliardi, Villa Grismondi Finardi and Casa Trussardi are the noble dwellings that contain artworks of exceptional value, including decorations by Tiepolo and paintings by famous artists like Moroni, Luini, Baschenis, Guttuso and De Chirico. Guided tours are available without reservations. Tickets sold at the entrances of the individual estates. Every Sunday, 6-27 September.
