    Using a ancient building as a college? Yes, the maintanace of those old buildings is expensive as hell and the only way to reduce the costs is to used them. We do that a lot in Germany, you cannot have only museums and it is so much fun to have band rehearsals in a old castle or stay overnight in a 500 year old youth hostel. And I can tell you, you enjoy it every day.

    I love Bergamo alta (the old part of the city). When i was to move to Italy, my desired options were Bergamo or Pavia. Both medieval towns.
    As you will be in Milan I warmly suggest you to visit the ancient university town of Pavia (ca 30 km south)
    As Lombardy, with all the Veneto regions, belonged to the Austrian Empire, Pavias university was created by Maria Theresia, the Empress of Austria.
    But Pavia is much much older, as everything in Italy...
    You seem to like medieval town, I am sure you will be impressed by Pavia, which was the "capital" of the Longobards - one group of the many "barbars" descending to Italy when Rome was too weak to respond. The Longobards were the first who converted to Catholicism, therefore, at the time, there were more churches than homes!
    I moved to Pavia where I lived 10 years. I was so impressed by everything. It is a little town, which remained small. You feel the university life style, with thd students still wearing the old mantels with hood when there are particular celebrations.
    The Minerva statue (goddess of wisdom & war), symbol of pavia, there she holds the speer upside down to underline the preference to wisdom instead of war...
    Thank you for your videos.
    I have been following you from the very beginning, enjoying so much your travels to countries I am familiar to. & laughed a lot with your trying to pronlunce Eichhörnchen! Unforgettable!
    I'm half Swiss-German n Italian. I was a language teacher when I still lived there. I also taught German in the American system of a boarding school in the Bernese Alps. I know how difficult it is for English speakers the German language!
    Much love!

      È uno straniero che ha fatto degli errori Ok lo si può perdonare e precisare con educazione scrivendo che è un'università medievale fondata nel 1300... Ma che modo di fare è questo? Io non lo so sui social si leggono continuamente queste risposte arroganti maleducate...

    21:38 to answer your question, yes, people still live in "Città Alta". Bergamo has a total population of around 120.000 inhabitants, of which about 5.000 live in the upper town that you visited.
    It was an enjoyable video and fun to watch; i studied and currently live in Bergamo so it is nice to see the city through the eyes of a foreigner.

    The small car at 20:50 is a Fiat Topolino. It is a L7 light car, max speed 45km/h and can be driven with a moped license from an age of 14 on. It is produced by Citroen in Maroco as the Citroen Ami, the Opel Rocks-e and the Fiat Topolino. The Fiat is the best looking version in my eyes. They use the same parts for the front and back and both sides, so that the right door opens to the front and the left to the rear. It is more a moped with a roof.

    • @1972Ray
      @1972Ray 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In the 60's and 70's in the US, the Topolino was sometimes used as a drag racing car. The tiny body with a massive American V8 in it was always something I loved. My first car, I got when I was 15, was a 71 Fiat Spider 124. Most of my friends were not familiar with Fiat, and it was often referred to as an MG, lol.

    È bellissima Bergamo medievale. Fu fondata anticamente da popolazioni germaniche... Il suo nome stesso denota la sua origine Berg e am.. che vuol dire borgo costruito sull'altura .. HamBerg
    Molte città e borghii più piccoli in Italia hanno queste origini... Io vivo in un piccolo borgo medioevale fondato nel medioevo da popolazioni provenienti dalla Germania venuti a lavorare le miniere nel cuore della Toscana dove vivo io.. questo borgo si chiama gerfalco che viene dal germanico antico gherfalc... Le città medievali in Italia a meno che non si trovassero in pianura venivano costruite sulle alture perché nascevano attorno a dei castelli... Il fatto di costruire sulle alture queste città circondate da mura di protezione faceva in modo che potessero difendersi da chi attaccava dal basso... Mi fa piacere che questo ragazzo americano che trovo veramente molto simpatico si sia innamorato della nostra vecchia Europa con tutta la nostra storia antica...🙂

      @@antoniolavecchia1464 esatto, anche se l'origine del nome è più probabilmente celtica, però è un'evidenza la similitudine a molti toponimi germanici, per esempio Bergen in Norvegia, anche questa una città su una montagna. In effetti "heim" sta per casa, dimora, villaggio. "Berg" sta certamente per montagna, collina, altura, sopra. Magari Berghem è una trasposizione successiva longobarda del precedente toponimo celtico con la medesima radice e significato. Se non erro Brenno (capo/condottiero), Brennero, Brixia (Brescia) hanno la stessa radice celtica. Qui in Liguria esiste Bergeggi, che essenzialmente è un'isola che ricorda una montagna in mezzo al mare. In ligure Briccu/bricchi sono le vette delle montagne e "u brennu" è la crusca, la parte esterna (sopra) del grano.

    I love the way you (dis)respected Italian rules and laws. It's strictly forbidden to fly drones above Bergamo, even a small DJI Mini, but you completely disrespected this rule.
    I'm sorry to say that it's because of people like the one who flew the drone if we have stricter and stricter laws to use our drones in this country.
    Tourists from abroad think this is Disneyland and do things that they wouldn't be allowed (or wouldn't even dream) to do at home. This is the kind of tourists we don't need.

      Also, flying a drone requires insurance.
      Because of these disrespectful behaviors, other people who follow the rules are penalized.
      As a rule of thumb, it is forbidden to fly a drone within 5 km from an airport. And Bergamo airport is very well visible from Città Alta.
