Grabbia holiday farm is based in the homonymous hamlet of S.Giovanni Bianco, in the Brembana Valley, along the track of the ancient Via Mercatorum, in the Bergamo area. It is a XV century small village, which was built on top of a hill, surrounded by the Sornadello, Cancervo and Venturosa mountaintops. The name is said to originate from the German word Gra-ben, which literally means grave, because there should be a burial place in the nearby area. Here the painter Carlo Ceresa (1609-1679), one of the most prolific XVII-century artists of the Bergamo area was born. In the XVII century, there used to be the Zignoni, local squires and great iron workers who represented the driving force of the local economy for the first half of the century.
