Location

Bergamo railway station (Italian: Stazione di Bergamocode: it is deprecated ) serves the city and comune of Bergamo, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Opened in 1854, it is located on the Lecco–Brescia railway and origin of the lines to Seregno and to Treviglio.

History

According to the Central Statistical Office of the FS, the station was opened on 22 April 1854, upon the inauguration of the whole of the Bergamo–Brescia railway. However, another source says that the Bergamo–Brescia railway was opened only in stages. According to that source, the Coccaglio-Brescia and Brescia-Verona sections both become operational on 22 April 1854 and were formally opened two days later, while the connection to Bergamo was not completed until 12 October 1857.
