History

The region was subsequently dominated by the Lombards who included it within the Duchy of Bergamo. The district is often included as part of :It:Lemine|Lemine during this period.
The earliest written records of Brembate date back to 856. The village, which takes its name from its proximity to the river Brembo, began to be referred to as 'Brembate di Sopra' to distinguish it from Brembate di Sotto to the south.
