Via Mario Lupo is off Via Gombito at the point where the Torre di Gombito rises high above the street.
Nowadays the tower houses the tourist information office on its ground floor where you can get free maps and leaflets and ask for help and advice.
The tower is believed to have had Roman origins before being rebuilt in the 12th century in its present form. It was modified centuries ago to become a shop, which later caused it to become unstable.
In 1848 local people assembled in the Torre di Gombito to rise up against the Austrians who ruled Bergamo at the time.Towards the end of the 19th century restoration work was carried out to make safe and preserve the tower.
