Monte Marenzo ( San Pàol in Bergamo dialect, MUNTN MARENNZ In Lecco dialect [5] [6] ) is an Italian town of 1 904 inhabitants of the province of Lecco in Lombardy. It is located in the San Martino Valley and until 1992 it belonged to the province of Bergamo.

The Municipality is territorially divided into two areas with historical -environmental -social and economic characteristics different from each other: the town center – “San Paolo” – in which a strong residential presence is concentrated and the levata hamlet where, in addition to some housing nuclei, There is a significant artisan and industrial activity. The town center and the levata hamlet are still connected to each other by an agricultural tratturo, which can only be traveled by pedestrians; Currently the actual road connection between the two areas takes place through the municipality of Calolziocorte on provincial and state roads. Monte Marenzo is crossed by the state road n. 639 of the lakes of Pusiano and Garlate and from the Lecco-Bergamo railway line in the local area. The main waterways present within the municipal area are the Carpine, Prisa, Bisone and premanent streams.

Middle Ages [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

The territory began to be inhabited in the Roman era, given that it was along a branch of the Bergamo-Como road. Then during the barbarian invasions various fortifications were built and in 1137 a “court” and the church of Sant’Alessandro in turn was mentioned. One of these was on the hill of Santa Margherita and it was the Cantagudo castle and outside its walls stood the sacred of Santa Margherita. Many properties on the territory of Monte Marenzo belonged to the monastery of San Giacomo di Pontida, which had obtained it by donation from the De Villa and the Marenzi, perhaps ancestors of the subsequent captains or Cattanei di Marenzo. After the peace of 1185 with Barbarossa the area entered the orbit of the Municipality of Bergamo, which in 1238 was in possession of the Castle of Marenzo and its territory. In 1216 the territory of Monte Marenzo was also equipped with one of his relatively autonomous parish from the Milanese Plebana of Brivio and at least since 1234 the church of San Paolo was the center, Monte Marenzo remained at the diocese of Milan until 1787, then to move on to the diocese of Bergamo, however maintaining the Ambrosian rite.

The inhabited center of Monte Marenzo was deployed with the Guelphs and then rose up against the Visconti domain of the Lordship of Milan following the families of the Colleoni and Captainae; He then argued first Pandolfo Malatesta and then Tuzzano Rota. In 1433 he entered the territory of the Republic of Venice and consequently the parish of San Paolo became completely autonomous in 1435 which was expanded in 1494. In 1597 the population was about 360 inhabitants and was mostly made up of peasants employed by Cattaneo, Ginamami, Mangili and armor. The vine was cultivated which in the seventeenth century also offered work to immigrants of the nearby territories. [7]
