Rustico in Aviatico

The cluster is in the lower Val Seriana, with the Bergamasque Prealps immediately north of the built-up valley floor. The Serio river runs through the valley. Parco Regionale delle Orobie Bergamasche begins farther up the valley and is not the immediate setting here. The nearest substantial town is Bergamo, which has a large historic upper town, services and rail connections. This part of the valley is known for its industrial settlements mixed with older hillside hamlets and for access toward the Orobie valleys rather than for a single standout site inside the immediate radius.
