Lately...

I went to Bergamo for a day trip with a friend. Its a rather small city (250,000) a short train ride north from Milan. Worth a visit, especially the pretty "citta alta" (high city). You see, the city is divided into to sections, one city above another city (very Marxisticly bourgeois I know).

There was also a shop there worth checking out if you are into brands like MM, Surface to Air, Norse Project and the Cambridge Satchel; check out Coffee&Television.
