Other things to note Our accommodation is located inside the Cascina Casletto. Some documents filed in the Archive of the Episcopal Curia of Bergamo tell us that the complex of this farmhouse dates back to the year 1308, with a small fortification to defend the surrounding agricultural properties. The farmhouse was built on the original settlement, leaving traces of itself both in 1501 (already with the name "Caslèt") and in the Napoleonic Land Registry of 1808. Casletto would therefore derive from "Castelletum", that is, "small defense garrison", which served as a further defensive barrier with respect to the Castrum, that is, the medieval fortified nucleus, represented by the current historic center of Telgate. Between the end of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century, the farmhouse housed several peasant and sharecropper families, who worked the land on behalf of large agricultural owners as well described in the film "L'albero degli zoccoli" by Ermanno Olmi, set between the autumn of 1897 and the spring of 1898 in the eastern Bergamo lowland between the municipalities of Martinengo, Palosco, Cividate al Piano, Mornico al Serio, and Cortenuova, and filmed in the Roggia Sale Farmhouse, not far from the Casletto Farmhouse. During the second half of the twentieth century, the farmhouse was bought and sold several times. In 1989, a group of families from Milan bought the farmhouse, which became the home of "Piccola Comunità", a community life experience based on the values of non-violence and sharing, inspired by the Gospel of the first Christian communities. After the community dissolved, the Sacchi family continued to live in the farmhouse and in 2001 Agripiccola, a family-run farm, was founded. In 2024, an accommodation was then renovated.
