The fine dining of Osteria del Conte in Dalmine finds a home in a monument of rationalist architecture

The restoration of a piece of monumental heritage from the 1930s has produced an intimate, exclusive restaurant. The work by the architect Giovanni Greppi built in 1936 at Dalmine, in the province of Bergamo, is one of the five Torri Littorie existing in Italy, including the Casa del Popolo by Terragni in Como.

Inside the tower, the Osteria del Conte is a public venue that finds space in a historical context; the contemporary meets the austere marble and canons of modern design of the early 20th century, amidst references to the Bauhaus and Gio Ponti.

The restoration has been coordinated by the Brembilla family and conducted by the architect Mario Cassinelli.
