The hall, located in the Upper Town, was named after the famous cello player from Bergamo Alfredo Piatti. As you step inside it, look up to the ceiling: it is lavishly decorated with a golden edge enriched by putti and framed, along with a fresco depicting a dance scene.
This hall hosted numerous performances by renowned musicians, such as Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Uto Ughi, Salvatore Accardo, just to name a few. After a closing period due to renovation works (from 1998 to 2003) it came back to the old glory and it keeps playing a crucial role in the national and international music scene. Besides, every year in November it hosts the International Cello Festival “Alfredo Piatti”.
