The project was entrusted to Giovan Battista Caniana, who conceived a square surrounded by trees and a fountain in the middle of Zandobbiomarble composed of a tank dominated by the figure of Neptune surrounded by tritons and sea horses that poured water from the mouth. In the late nineteenth century, however, the fair didn’t work anynore and most of the buildings were abandoned or reduced to ruins, so at the beginning of the twentieth century is given the task to Marcello Piacentini to redesign the layout of the site.

  25. Marenzi park INDIETRO AVANTI

  26. In the second half of the garden rises of private accounts Marenzio; garden shaped roughly rectangular, with an area of 12,000 sqm. In 1973 the municipality of Bergamo provides for the acquisition of the garden Marenzio through expropriation in accordance with applicable laws, in order to create a public park. With a reduction of area of 3000 square meters land is purchased by the Local which subsequently built between the remaining property Marenzio and park the wall. In that year the garden consisted of several large trees, many of them centuries old, as Platani, cedars, beeches, American and nuts Conifers of various kinds, but not all enjoyed a good state of preservation. Indeed abandonment where you left the garden has helped the cosideta "natural pruning" of trees caused by meteorological events and the formation of a rigogliso undergrowth. It was therefore expected the cleaning of all vegetation in the park. As for the park Suardi, including the park Marenzo the municipality approved several projects to work on the garden sisitemazione a public park. These projects included the change of paths esisitenti, the formation of a gate of access facilitating the inflow of public and the replacement of the wall, along the way Frizzoni, closure of the smelly ditch and finally was a plant lighting consists of light Quarata points. In 1977 we made changes to the previous project which included the construction of new paths connecting to ensure greater conservation of undergrowth, the removal of the lighting and the replacement of only parzile wall with a railing. The park has an artificial lake of about 600 square meters this once, was fed with water from a communal Roggia. In the year when the park was bought by the city, the water of the lake was polluted and full of material melmoso. It was then a general cleaning of the basin and a new power of the lake by water from municipal water supply. Later in 1978 were derived from an old local park in the toilets. It was equipped with lighting the pond and the stone grotto of strain Brembate. Following the City did build two wooden bridges and a security barrier in piles chestnut round the edge of the pond. Many were eventually, efforts on cleaning and the provision of green park. Through defined and detailed interventions have been carried out in the seventies, operations of planting, pruning, removal of dead plants, weeding of paths, risemine of flowerbeds. They are followed in recent years projects recovery of undergrowth and ridifinizione paths with inclusion of appropriate plants typical of the tradition of the romantic garden. All this made it to the Park Marenzo a pleasant and acceptable to users. For the initial design scheme, which leads to a strong concept naturalist / romantic, the park presents the game for children that would be inappropriate and poorly placed. It was deliberately preferred to preserve the natural and mysterious concept of a time. INDIETRO AVANTI

  27. parco suardi INDIETRO AVANTI

  28. In 1949 the municipality of Bergamo propose to the Count Guidino Suardi the purchase of part of the garden adjacent to his property in order to put to public use. The proposal was accepted by the count, which is made available to offer the City of Bergamo an area of 22,500 sqm. It was therefore formed the Park Suardi, the first municipal park and that is of considerable interest. Until that time the city of Bergamo did not have real public gardens, except in restricted areas and small greens of the city center but there were private parks, both for the vastness of the area, both to the importance of the vegetation more green areas. The conditions of the garden in 1949 were not particularly good as the lack of maintenance and World War II had contributed to his neglect. In the park there were plants of conifers, oak, beech, many of which are in poor condition due to the indiscriminate cutting of branches operated by German troops which also had not hesitated to break down some of the best plants. Nevertheless the interest of the municipality against the park not diminished. After the purchase of the garden the municipality provided to the construction of a dividing wall, two and a half meters high, between now become communal property and private remained at Conte Suardi. On 2 April 1950 the park was inaugurated and opened to the public. In subsequent years the garden has undergone many changes to better adapt it for public use. In 1951 it was thought to create the wall of the park oval windows in order to alleviate the fence wall that isolates him from the road. In 1957, however, was approved the construction of a new fence consists of a railing of the length of three hundred meters and then the demolition of the wall in order to allow citizens to enjoy the park from outside. It was also built a cloister for the services of hygiene and health was designed for a guardian, reserving a space for the sale of drinks inside the park. In 1958 the municipality had built some play equipment for children, in 1966 provided the installation of a train for children who could cross the garden and in 1977 provided a service of cars a token. Park Suardi soon assumed the appearance of a public park project and amended in accordance with the needs of citizens. To the many initiatives we went to add the purchase of animals enter the park in order to provide the public with a new type of attraction. In 1957 were prepared inside the park fence with two shelters for a couple of Daini and kids of Tibet. In the following years many animals were placed in the park as: Pavoni, Donkeys, Volpi and tropical birds. Many, however, created problems as causing damage in summer and give off odors that makes it unpleasant even a simple walk in the park, others, failed to adapt to the climate of our city and in short perished.
