Made on a trip to Northern Italy in 2006, visiting Bergamo, Aosta, Torino, Lake Como and the French/Swiss Italian Alps, to do some high mountain hiking in beautiful scenery...

Mt Emilius is snowfree in summer and can be accessed after a strenous hike and rock scramble to give amazing views of the Aosta Valley, 3000 meters down. Temperature difference that day between moutaintop and valley below, approximately 40 degrees Celsius....

Bergamo (Bergheim, mountain citadel) occupies the site of the ancient town of Bergomum, founded as a settlement of the Celtic tribe of Cenomani. In 49 BC it became a Roman municipality, containing circa 10,000 inhabitants at its peak. An important hub on the military road between Friuli and Raetia, it was destroyed by Attila in the 5th century. Today a city of 120.000, 40 km north-east of Milan. (IMG_6564)
