Once upon a time...
The town where time is read in its waters, the wind and the sun it is bathed in
Only a few kilometres from Pisogne on the Bergamascan shore of the Iseo Lake can be found this small town. In the past it was a residential area for many noble families in that it is surrounded by mountains and is characterized by its generally mild climate. What makes Tavernola very elegant are its manor houses with botanical parks such as the Fenaroli Mansion, Caprioli Mansion, and Capuani Mansion. In summer along the lake front of Tavernola under trees it is possible to dine romantically and enjoy the setting sun at the many restaurants and bars. Places to visit include the 12th century Roman church of San Michelone, built from large blocks of stone, as well as the church of Santa Maria Maddalena constructed on the ruins of the castle and embellished with Ionic cappings and paintings from the ‘500 – ‘600.
