The Ponte Cappello, which is located not far from the entrance to the Strada Taverna, is defined as medieval but the actual dating is uncertain: its existence is in any case documented as early as the 12th - 13th century.
The name seems to derive from the surname of a family that lived in the area (Cà Negri) and on some maps dated 1800 it appears as "Ponte del Negro".
The bridge, with its characteristic humpback shape, represented an important communication route between the Lower Brembana Valley (Almenno = "Lemine") and Zogno) crossing the gorge of the Brembilla river.
