YesMilano – Bergamo and Brescia have been chosen as Italian Capitals of Culture for 2023.
These two cities, hit hardest in Italy by the pandemic, proudly share the patriotic legacy of Eastern Lombardy, with its splendid lakes and florid countryside, a territory that has always stood out for industrial and entrepreneurial excellence, and values of hard work and social solidarity.
The idea behind the 2023 Italian Capitals of Culture is portraying a polycentric urban and rural environment, fleshing out a cultural project that integrates art, culture, agriculture and cuisine to restart tourism and promote sustainable socio-economic development.
