Piazza San Giovanni, 3, Caravaggio

This is the central Po plain between the Adda and Serio rivers, with flat farmed land, canals and scattered villages. The Adda river corridor is the main natural feature within reach, with stretches of riparian woodland and the historic Naviglio Martesana and other irrigation works shaping the landscape to the west and south-west. Treviglio is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, services and a substantial historic centre. Bergamo and Milan are outside the immediate landscape and matter more for work and transport than for the setting itself. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for the network of Lombard plain canals and farmsteads.
