The “Cannoniera di San Giovanni”

The Cannoniera di San Giovanni in Bergamo is open to the public.

After nearly two centuries, it is possible to access the large underground gunboat and sortie in the San Giovanni bulwark. The solid iron stairs between the bulwark level and the masthouse overcomes a height difference of about ten meters. The stairs have been protected with SISTEMA TRIPLEX: the protective system, calibrated for “natural” environment in corrosion class C2 according to UNI EN ISO 12944, will allow use of the manufactured product for over 100 years without need for any extraordinary maintenance work (data certified by the LCA of SISTEMA TRIPLEX). From the Eco di Bergamo, Saturday, November 14, 2009.. “Bergamo has clearly shown its appreciation for the act of generosity by the construction company Pandini which, to celebrate 50 years in business, wished to allow the Bergamo citizens and tourists to enjoy a forgotten corner of the Walls, the Cannoniera di San Giovanni. After two years of work, the impressive example of military architecture has been restored to its original state and, for the opening ceremony, more than two hundred people arrived at the bastion of San Giovanni, demonstrating affection and appreciation for this act of patronage”.
