After it was forced to close by the Coronavirus crisis, we are pleased to report that the Museum of the Tasso family and of Postal History has reopened. The Museum is in two historic buildings in Camerata Cornello, near Bergamo. This was the birthplace of the Tasso family which, over several centuries, made a huge contribution to the creation and management of the European Postal Service.
The Museum was founded in 1991 and is located in 2 historic buildings in the ancient village of Cornello dei Tasso in Camerata Cornello. It is open from Wednesday to Sunday between 10.00 and 12.00 and from 14.00 to 18.00.
