It is difficult to imagine Bergamo without the art of Lorenzo Lotto. For the restless Venetian painter, the more than ten years he spent in the city were perhaps the happiest, most fruitful and freest of his entire existence. At the centre of the tour is a visit to Lorenzo Lotto’s inlays in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, which for the BergamoBrescia 2023 event will be shown in all its magnificence.
