Our Headquarters
120 Years of History
"Long live the Ducato di Piazza Pontida!"
The Ducato di Piazza Pontida, an association of traditions, culture, art, and folklore, was founded thanks to the imaginative creativity of a well-known figure in the city during the early decades of the last century: Rodolfo Paris, a music lover, pianist, poet, and composer of verses in Bergamasque.
Smiciatöt - XI Duke of Piazza Pontida
"The eleventh Duke in the history of the Ducato is our Mario Morotti, former treasurer of the Ducato. He will be called «Smiciatöt Ü'», a name inspired by the history of the association and the life of Giacinto Gambirasio, Ducal poet and one of the most respected editors of the periodical Giopì, who signed his works as «Gambì Smiciatöt». The nickname does not mean ‘curious,’ but rather a careful observer of Bergamasque social life and, consequently, a constructive critic.
