MAY 10: The “SILK” Thread Treasure at Palazzo Agliardi
On the occasion of the opening of the palazzo, the guest of honour will be silk. This project, conceived by FAI at Palazzo Moroni, extends across the city by involving other historic sites, with the aim of introducing the general public to Bergamo’s artistic heritage and exploring the theme of silk, which for centuries supported the province’s economy.

The Fal’ Fil Silk Museum, located in Ranzanico in Val Cavallina, will be exceptionally hosted at Palazzo Agliardi, where it will offer a dedicated educational workshop introducing visitors to the history of silk and explaining its traditional production in the Bergamo valleys. Following the guided tour of the palazzo, there will be a special focus on silkworm breeding, featuring personal testimonies and a selection of traditional tools presented by FAI volunteers and the museum staff.

Admission by reservation only. Payment is required at the time of booking via the following link: The Silk Thread Treasure

Palazzo Agliardi is located close to Porta S. Agostino in one of the historic districts of Bergamo where the most important families of nobles and merchants constructed their mansions in the sixteenth century. The palace was built during the Cinquecento period by Alessandro Martinengo and was renovated in 1741 by renowned architect Caniana. It has been owned by the Conti Agliardi family since 1845. The large central hall, flanked by four reception rooms, is decorated with exquisite 18th-century frescoes by Carlo Innocenzo Carloni and Federico Ferrario. The rooms overlook a charming hanging garden, a spacious cellar and the former stables. The Palazzo is available all year round, not only for guided tours, but also for hosting corporate events, weddings, conferences and photo shoots.
