Bossico's treasure: traditions

We are located in Bossico, in the province of Bergamo. It is a small town near Lake Iseo and is the result of the preservation of the territory and traditions by several generations. Bossico was born in a valley surrounded, as if to protect it, by various reliefs. The main church of the village was commissioned in 1780 and put into operation for the first time in 1783. The spoken dialect was 'created' by the ancient shepherds and artisans of the place, which has become a priceless treasure that is handed down from generation to generation. generation. Furthermore, the craftsmen used to carve wood with the 'good' moon as they believed that in this way the wood would last for many years to come without being damaged by insects. Back then the schoolchildren used to follow the flock in 'remengo', ie without having a fixed area. In addition, each house has a plot of land to be cultivated on their own. The village is also full of villas, elegant houses: they date back to around 1880.
