Seriate (Italian pronunciation: [seˈrjaːte][3] Bergamasque: Seriàt [seˈrjaːt][3] ) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Bergamo in the Italian region of Lombardy, located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) northeast of Milan and about 4 kilometres (2 mi) southeast of Bergamo.

[5] Seriate borders the following municipalities: Albano Sant'Alessandro, Bagnatica, Bergamo, Brusaporto, Calcinate, Cavernago, Gorle, Grassobbio, Orio al Serio, Pedrengo.

Others claim that it derives from the typical Gallo-Ligurian idiom that characterizes all places near a river, with the ending -ate (Brembate, Locate, Capriate, Seriate ...).

[6] The city of Seriate is located at the end of “Via Borgo Palazzo” of Bergamo, in the direction towards the river Serio.

The territory of Seriate occupies an area of 12.41 sq km, largely located along the banks of the Serio river, which runs through the city from north to south.

The river contributed in both linking and dividing the two banks, in fact sometimes it is an element of mediation while other times it's an obstacle.

This hypothesis could be confirmed by the ruins of necropolis and hydro cistern, which date back to II and IV centuries.

The architectonic plan of the Church presents a Greek cross, that creates perfect harmony, and a raised presbytery.

The Church has just one aisle and there are two memorials to remember the benefactors of the Sanctuary and the men of Seriate who died during the First and Second World War.

Inside the Sanctuary there are many religious pictures, for example on the ceiling there are three paintings describing the miracles of resurrection made by Jesus.

It includes not only a part of the city of Seriate, but also the areas of the municipalities of Gorle, Pedrengo, Scanzorosciate and Villa di Serio.
