Cornello dei Tasso

Cornello dei Tasso is a medieval village in Lombardy. With only 20 residents, it is part of the municipality of Camerata Cornello in Valle Brembana, in the province of Bergamo, which is 32 km away. Perched on a cliff that can only be accessed by pedestrians via the centuries-old Via Mercatorum, it is the native land of the Tasso family, known all over the world for the poetic talents of Torquato Tasso, as well as for the entrepreneurial skills of the various descendants of the family, who established themselves as postal couriers.
The Tasso family managed the imperial post of the Habsburgs, revolutionizing the system of news transmission north of the Alps.
