Things to see
San Giovanni Bianco offers many attractions for visitors, starting with its charming historic center that preserves much of its original structure. Here, you can admire Romanesque bridges, follow the path of Strada Priula, immerse yourself in the suggestive atmosphere of Piazza Zignoni, and visit the elegant parish church.
With its neoclassical style, the majestic Parish Church dominates the village from above and was built in the 19th century on the foundations of a medieval building.
Noteworthy is the Boselli Palace, considered one of the architectural gems of the Brembana Valley, with its frescoed halls and magnificent collection of paintings. In recent years, the ground floor and basements of the palace have been transformed into exhibition spaces, where various types of exhibitions are organized, making the most of the beauty of the surroundings.
Finally, in the hamlet of Oneta, you can find the "Casa di Arlecchino," which was once inhabited by the famous actor of the commedia dell'arte, Ganassa, the one who gave life to the favorite Bergamo mask of Arlecchino.
