Costa Serina is an Italian town in the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy. It is located in the Serina valley, transversal of the Brembana valley and is about 30 kilometers north of the Orobic capital. In addition to the capital, the municipality is made up of three hamlets: Ambriola, Ascensione and Trafficanti. The origins of the town seem to date back to the 1st century BC at the time of Roman domination, when the whole of the Serina valley was united under the municipality of Bergamo. However, the first written documents attesting the existence of the town date back to the year 1186, when mention is made of a concession given by the bishop of Bergamo to some inhabitants of the area, through the priest of the village. In medieval times the town assumed a role of considerable importance within the entire Val Serina. At that time the municipality had the name of Costa di Sambusita and was one of the first in the area to self-regulate itself through its own municipal statute: in its territory it also included the localities of Sambusita and Rigosa, now instead united in the municipality of Algua, and all the small residential areas located to the left of the Serina stream. Only during the fifteenth century did the town change its name, taking on the current Costa Serina. At that time these places played a very important role in the communication of goods between the Seriana and Brembana valleys, thanks to the presence of a viable route for traders, called via Mercatorum. Even today this activity is remembered by the toponym of one of the hamlets: Trafficanti is in fact a reminder of the important trade activity that this territory has experienced. In more recent times, precisely during the Fascist period, the municipality was merged with the nearby Bracca and Rigosa, taking the name of Bracca di Costa Serina. Only in 1961 the countries determined a new and definitive split, taking what are the current denominations and territorial conformations. Currently the country, after years of continuous depopulation, is experiencing a new phase of splendor, thanks to the impulse given by tourism, both summer and winter. The most attractive structure is undoubtedly the parish church of the capital, dedicated to S. Lorenzo and S. Ambrogio. Built during the eighteenth century in place of a previous building of worship dating back to the twelfth century, it has numerous works inside, including a fresco dating back to the fifteenth century, found after recent restoration work, and dating back to the first church placed in that place. Another building worthy of mention is undoubtedly the Church of the Ascension--fcd71eec20862742e91bd7a0859f6b06!
