Bergamo-Il Caravaggio, International airport in Orio al Serio, Italy
Bergamo-Il Caravaggio is an international airport in Orio al Serio, Italy, serving both Bergamo and Milan through several transport links. The facility has two runways measuring 2.9 kilometers and 778 meters in length, along with a terminal offering facilities for passengers and airlines.
Operations began in 1937 with the official opening in 1939, when the facility first served as a small regional aviation center. Over the decades, the site grew through expansions and upgrades into Italy's third largest passenger terminal.
The facility carries the name Il Caravaggio after the famous painter from nearby Lombardy, whose works now hang in museums worldwide. Travelers find murals and references to the region's artistic heritage inside the terminal, showing the connection between the airport and local identity.
Direct train connections reach the center of Bergamo every 15 minutes, while buses run throughout the day and offer additional options for travelers. Signage inside the terminal guides visitors to transport links in several languages, and information desks stand ready near the main entrance.
Management contributed 200,000 euros to support local residents after severe flooding and implemented measures to protect the environment at the same time. This initiative shows a commitment to the surrounding community and responsibility toward the landscape around the facility.
