Treviglio (Lombardy)

Treviglio is a town in the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy, Northern Italy. It is part of the geographic area named "Gera d'Adda", included among the rivers Fosso Bergamasco to the North, Adda to the West and Serio to the East. It is called "The town of courtyards" for their preponderant presence in the Old Town. Treviglio is subdivided into five main quartiers: Old town, West zone, North zone, the recent built East zone and the PIP (Industrial Zone). Northward lie four 'frazioni' (subdivisions): Geromina, Castel Cerreto, Battaglie and Pezzoli; once the village of Castel Rozzone also was a 'frazione' of Treviglio. The coat of arms is composed of a crenelated tower, which represents the city with its Ghibelline past; flanked by two golden lions rampant, for its free and valiant citizenry and topped by an eagle, symbol of the privileges obtained by the Holy Roman Empire, which is holding a pig aloft, symbol of the achieved prosperity.
