The Fontana delle Rogge in Bergamo is a quiet little treasure that reflects the city’s deep connection to water and history. Located in the charming streets of Città Alta, this historic fountain once played an essential role in supplying fresh water through Bergamo’s old irrigation channels, known as “rogge.” Parts of the water system feeding the fountain date back to medieval hydraulic engineering, a reminder of how advanced and organized the city’s infrastructure was centuries ago. Today, it may seem like just a picturesque stone fountain. Still, it carries centuries of everyday life within its flowing water. And thanks to lk_lh_15 and loborosh, this spot now holds an extra secret: one of our penguin stones is hidden not far from the fontana, waiting for a lucky wanderer to discover it.
