Church of Sant'Antonio abandoned Parre The Church of Sant'Antonio is located in a splendid position on the meadows of Monte Alino, above Parre, in the province of Bergamo. It is a small oratory dedicated to Sant'Antonio da Padova, built for popular devotion after the plague of 1630. In past centuries, during the summer, a chaplain celebrated religious functions for the families who lived in the surrounding farmhouses. Inside the church there are works of art of great value, including an altarpiece with Sant'Antonio da Padova painted by the Bergamo painter Carlo Ceresa (1609-1679). Furthermore, on the vault of the apse there is a restored altarpiece from the 18th century depicting the Coronation of the Virgin, attributed to the school of Carpinoni. Another 18th-century painting by an unknown artist depicts the Blessed Alberto da Villa d'Ogna, to whom a dove brings the Eucharist. On the arch of the presbytery is represented the Miracle of the Donkey, an episode from the life of Saint Anthony. The church can be reached by following a mule track, and offers a panoramic view of the Seriana Valley. It is an ideal place for a short excursion and to enjoy the tranquility of nature

Lake Branchino is located in the Orobie Prealps, between the Seriana and Brembana valleys, on the administrative border between the municipalities of Ardesio and Oltre il Colle. It is possible to reach the lake from three different points: from the Seriana valley, starting from Valcanale, a hamlet of Ardesio and following the CAI trail number 220 that reaches the Alpe Corte refuge and, passing alongside numerous huts, goes up to the Branchino refuge and then to the lake; from the Brembana valley, from the town of Roncobello via a carriage road that touches the locality of Costa Superiore and the hamlet of Capovalle. A little further upstream the trail becomes a path, along which follow the signs for the Branchino pass; from the Serina valley, via trail number 222 that goes up to the Capanna 2000 refuge and then continuing along the Sentiero dei Fiori

Started halfway up the climb the Afternoon recording with a snowy path, with crampons doable by everyone without difficulty. Landscape that always offers breathtaking views. Having arrived at the pass practically alone and with the sun that was now setting, the muffled silence gave us a feeling of lightness and wonder.
