Piazzolo is an Italian municipality of 87 inhabitants[1] in the province of Bergamo in Lombardy. Located in the upper Val Brembana, it is about 47 kilometers north of the Orobic capital.
It is, with its 87 inhabitants, the second least populated municipality in the province of Bergamo, after Blello[5].
The toponym Piazzolo derives from the location the village has since its origins: a small clearing in an area of high mountains. Similarly, the same root can be found in the names of nearby places such as Piazzatorre, Piazzo and Piazzole. As with many other nearby villages, the first stable settlements in this area can be traced back to the era of the barbarian invasions, when the populations subjected to raids they took refuge in remote places, sheltered from the impetus of the conquering hordes.
Stories handed down to the present day tell of small disagreements with the nearby communities of Valnegra and Piazza Brembana over the use and management of the pastures, but also over facts of pure parochialism. Episodes can be found that tell of the poverty of this area: in the centuries ago the inhabitants, despite there being a parish church in the area, were forced to participate in the Holy Mass in the nearby municipalities (Olmo al Brembo above all) due to the lack of money with who pays a priest. Only sporadically were the functions celebrated in the local church of Santa Maria, paid for from time to time.
Fundamental for the development of the town was the construction, in 1943, of the carriage road that connects it to the (current) SP1[8].
During the Second World War, groups of fleeing partisans hid near the village, praying to Saint Rita so that the Nazis would not find them: since then that area took the name of the saint.
