Suardi (dynasty)

The Suardi were a Ghibelline-allied noble family in medieval Bergamo.

[1] In the 14th-century, the family was allied with the Visconti of Milan; Giovanni Suardi even married one of the daughters of Lord Bernabò.

Suardi Castle still stands in Bianzano on a hilltop above the Cavallina and Seriana valleys.

Suardi Tower is located in Trescore Balneario.

The Suardi Chapel at Trescore Balneario is decorated with 16th-century frescoes by Lorenzo Lotto.
