The City of Bergamo, which was Italian Capital of Culture 2023 with its neighbour Brescia, is a continuously evolving city in terms of culture, society, the development of research and scientific technologies and, last but by no means not least, the ever-increasing attention it pays to the environmental and energy sustainability of its territory.
The Italian Government was quick to back the bid to be designated Italian Capital of Culture (approved on 16 July 2020) by these two cities, both symbols of resilience to the terrible impact of the coronavirus pandemic in Italy. The dossier submitted in their bid to become Italian Capital of Culture focuses on the theme of “the illuminated city”: this expression has various meanings, such as tolerance, creativity and the development of research and technologies, as well as the concept of a “lighthouse city”, namely a point of reference and leadership.
The City of Bergamo’s bid to join the European Mission “100 intelligent cities with zero climate impact by 2030” is also based on this concept of the “lighthouse city”. The municipal administration recognises the absolute importance of climate change and is intensifying its commitment to integrating aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation into its municipal policies, strategies and plans. Its objective is not just to meet the required Italian milestones, but also match those of its European partners
