Seriate
Seriate (Italian pronunciation: [seˈrjaːte] Bergamasque: Seriàt [seˈrjaːt] ) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Bergamo in the Italian region of Lombardy, located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) northeast of Milan and about 4 kilometres (2 mi) southeast of Bergamo. As of 31 August 2020, it had a population of 25,200 and an area of 12.4 square kilometres (4.8 mi2).
Seriate borders the following municipalities: Albano Sant'Alessandro, Bagnatica, Bergamo, Brusaporto, Calcinate, Cavernago, Gorle, Grassobbio, Orio al Serio, Pedrengo. Seriate received the honorary title of city with a presidential decree on October 2, 1989.
The name "Sariate" appears for the first time in a parchment from the year 949. There are two theories about the origin of the name. Some state that it derives from "Sarius", the ancient Latin name of the river Serio. Others claim that it derives from the typical Gallo-Ligurian idiom that characterizes all places near a river, with the ending -ate (Brembate, Locate, Capriate, Seriate ...).
The city of Seriate is located at the end of “Via Borgo Palazzo” of Bergamo, in the direction towards the river Serio. The territory of Seriate occupies an area of 12.41 sq km, largely located along the banks of the Serio river, which runs through the city from north to south. The river contributed in both linking and dividing the two banks, in fact sometimes it is an element of mediation while other times it's an obstacle. The river influences various functions of the urban space, such as roads, living quarters and workplaces.
The municipality of Seriate contains the two frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) of Comonte and Cassinone.
The area of Paderno lays in the Western part of the Municipality of Seriate. The origin of the word “paderno” could be the adjective “paternus”, which refers to a land inherited from the father. The first written text that mention this area is a document of 979. It is possible that the first settlements of Seriate were in the area of Paderno. In fact the current “Via Paderno” is near the river “Serio”, but it’s still safe in case of possible floods. This hypothesis could be confirmed by the ruins of necropolis and hydro cistern, which date back to II and IV centuries. In the sixteenth century the area of Paderno was so important that was mentioned in the maps of cartographers. The first commercial activities started during the 1960s.
The "frazione" of Comonte is located in the north-eastern quadrant of the municipal area. Comonte is situated on a 277 meters hill. Geologically Comonte is the most antique part of Seriate.
The "frazione"of Cassinone is located in the south of the city of Seriate. Cassinone belongs to three municipalities: Seriate, Calcinate and Bagnatica. This "frazione" is a rural location which has an industrial and artisan area.
