Maresana is a hill located just beyond the northeast border of the city of Bergamo, its green lung and an easy refuge for those who, from the city, are looking for nature that is easily and quickly accessible.

Its chestnut forests are the ideal destination for those who, in the autumn, are in search of these fruits.
