Treviglio

Treviglio is a commune in the Province of Bergamo spread across the flat landscape of Bassa Bergamasca at an elevation of 125 meters, roughly 35 kilometers northeast of Milan and 20 kilometers south of Bergamo. The town mixes residential neighborhoods with industrial zones and holds several churches plus a central square where public life gathers.

The settlement formed in the Early Middle Ages when three separate hamlets called Cusarola, Pisignano, and Portoli merged into a single community. In 1522 the town suffered heavy damage during a siege by French troops, which led to the construction of the sanctuary Madonna delle Lacrime.

The name combines tre (three) with viglio, a dialect word for hamlet, recalling the time when three separate settlements grew together here. Visitors can still see the old gates that once marked the boundaries between different quarters of town.

The railway station sits close to the town center and offers regular train links to Milan, Bergamo, and Brescia, making it easy to reach from surrounding cities. Visitors can walk from the station to the main churches and central square in just a few minutes.

The town hosts the headquarters of SAME Deutz-Fahr, one of Europe's largest tractor manufacturers, earning it the informal title of tractor capital of Italy. On the roads around the plant, you regularly see newly built farm machinery heading to test centers or delivery points.
