It's been three years since we did our Sentiero delle Orobie (Path of the Orobie) hike, documented in the posts:

• Seven Days on the Sentiero delle Orobie – A Journey Through the Bergamo Alps
• Seven Days on the Sentiero delle Orobie - Up Close with Flowers of the Bergamo Alps

So it was a little bit nostalgic for us to walk in and see the exhibit by Tito Terzi titled "Montagna da vivere – Le orobie negli scatti di Tito Terzi" at the Museo della fotografia Sestini, Convento di San Francesco in Bergamo's Città Alta. The exhibit is not only about the Sentiero delle Orobie, but it figures large in the photos shown in the exhibit. For each stop on the Sentiero delle Orobie, the exhibit includes an overview and several photos taken on that segment of the hike, including one of the rifugio. The overview and rifugio photos are shown below.


Tito Terzi loved nature and the mountains he grew up in, and by extension the Sentiero delle Orobie, an enchanting hiking path through those very mountains. The Sentiero delle Orobie was mapped out by the CAI Section of Bergamo between 1950 to 1970. Orobie is a term that means the Bergamasque Alps. Some references:

• CAI Bergamo description
• Wikipedia page for the path – in Italian
• Visit Bergamo - overview

What we show here are a few photos of the exhibit – the path of the Sentiero delle Orobie (Orientale). Enjoy.
