The HISTORY

La Celadina has the distinction of being the only residence owned and inhabited by the Tasso family that has survived to this day. The “Portone del Diavolo” (Devil’s Gate) marks the entrance to the vast estate that surrounded the villa. Inside, the rich artistic and architectural features—evident in the series of rooms, frescoes, and stuccoes—blend seamlessly with the Tasso family’s international legacy. For centuries, they managed the postal services across multiple states, laying the foundations and helping to shape both communication and the European landscape. 

This activity was instrumental in building their wealth and noble status, and the cultural Association, aptly entitled “… in the name of the Tasso…” aims to showcase how their work in postal communication paved the way for cultural exchange and actively stimulated the progress of human society. 

Among the most prominent members of the Tasso family, cousin Torquato, famous for his work Gerusalemme Liberata, is particularly notable. He studied alongside the young Tassos from Celadina, who welcomed him on several occasions. Today, the Tasso family remains the only Bergamasque family with such widespread European acclaim.
