Sarnico, Lakeside municipality in Province of Bergamo, Italy

The town stretches along the southern shore of Lake Iseo, featuring a central historic district with traditional architecture and narrow streets at 197 meters elevation.

Dating back to 862, Sarnico developed during medieval times with defensive structures and later became the capital of Valcalepio County under Venetian rule.

The Art Nouveau villas commissioned by the Faccanoni family display concrete reliefs by Ernesto Bazzaro and decorative elements by Alessandro Mazzucotelli throughout the town.

Located 70 kilometers northeast of Milan and 20 kilometers east of Bergamo, Sarnico connects to major transportation networks and offers numerous accommodation options.

The term Sarneghéra names a specific storm pattern that starts in Sarnico and affects the Sebino area between April and July, reaching the Camonica Valley.
