San Giovanni Bianco

San Giovanni Bianco is a commune in the Val Brembana, a mountain valley in the Province of Bergamo. The municipality comprises nine hamlets and localities, with Cornalita and Oneta being the main ones.

The village arose in medieval times as an important point on trade routes through the mountains. The parish church received a sacred relic in 1495 from knight Vistallo Pignoni, which gave the community religious significance.

The village maintains a strong connection to a character from Italian theater. The House of Harlequin in Oneta, a noble residence from the 15th century, displays this historical link even today.

The village connects to larger cities through regional public transportation and is easy to reach. The postal code is 24015 and the telephone prefix is 0345.

Seven Romanesque bridges span the Brembo River throughout the municipal territory and create a network of stone structures. These historic crossings shape the landscape as it appears today.
