Capriate San Gervasio
Capriate San Gervasio (Bergamasque: Cavriàt San Gervàs; Milanese: Capriàa San Gervàsi) is a town and comune in the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy, northern Italy. As of 2019[update], its population was 8,216.
The municipality is located about 17 km (11 mi) from Milan.
About two thousand years ago, the Romans founded settlements in the area, together with the previous Celtic ones.
The first document attesting the existence of the village dates back to 948; the land had been exploited by the Bishop of Cremona, who had received the feudal investiture from the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
During the following centuries the city witnessed a number of conflicts between the opposing factions of Guelphs and Ghibellines. The situation induced the construction of buildings useful for defense, such as a castle. Also, towards the end of the 12th century, the troops of Bergamo built a huge fortification used as a weapons deposit.
The village was involved in punitive expeditions led by Facino Cane and Francesco Bussone, culminating with the destruction of the bridge over the Adda.
Numerous battles affected the population, who were also subjected to the battles between the troops of Milan and the troops of Venice. The troops of Milan were led by the Sforza-Visconti family and they initially prevailed.
The Venetian recaptured the control of the area in the XV century, ensuring political stability for many years.
