The Protestant Cultural Center is located in Via Tasso, Lower Bergamo, not far from the Palazzo della Provincia, and is managed by the Waldensian Cultural Center Foundation.
The location is not accidental: during the Renaissance, the neighborhood that developed around the street had the highest concentration of Swiss Protestants in the city.
Many of the palaces that still adorn it today were commissioned by those very families, who became rich through trade.
The Center is located inside number 55.
After passing through the entrance portal, continue inside the portico to the inner courtyard-enclosed between the walls of the old Zavaritt building and columns with round arches-to find the entrance on the right.
Also housed inside the building is the Girolamo Zanchi Library, which holds more than 5,000 volumes and the documentary archive of the Waldensian Community, with writings dating from 1805 to the present.
