Camerata Cornello, the Tasso family village in the Val Brembana
Cornello dei Tasso, the best known hamlet of Camerata Cornello, is the village the Tasso family came from; in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries they ran the postal services across much of Europe. The small medieval hamlet, with its arcaded street, houses a museum devoted to the Tasso family and the history of the post, and is reached on foot.
The municipality lies in the middle Val Brembana, in the province of Bergamo, between the Brembo valley floor and the slopes, at around five hundred and fifty metres. Besides the main village there are other hamlets and houses scattered on the hillsides. For work and the main services people head down the valley towards Bergamo; in the village Overture Maps records 9.07 bars and restaurants per 1,000 residents, against 4.08 in the province.
In 2023 there were 551 residents, against 627 in 2011, a fall of 12.1%. The average age is 47.5, close to the provincial figure (45.2), and over-65s make up 23.8%. Households average 2.10 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
In the province of Bergamo all 243 municipalities are in seismic zone 3; in Camerata the expected acceleration is about 0.068 g. The climate is zone E. In old buildings such as those in Cornello, any work must respect the rules protecting historic centres, so ask the town hall before buying.
The valley is narrow, and the most practical hazards are landslides and floods from the Brembo and its tributaries. The report reads them on the official maps for the address, and uses the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps to find the plot.
