Abitazione con cortile

This is the flat agricultural plain between Bergamo, Treviglio and Crema, in the Bassa Bergamasca. The Serio river runs a few kilometres east of Caravaggio, and the Adda river is within about 15 km to the west near Cassano d'Adda. Caravaggio is known for the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Fonte, a major pilgrimage church on the plain. Treviglio, the nearest larger town, has rail links, shops and services. Bergamo and Milan are reachable for work and transport, but they sit outside the immediate landscape.
