Osio Sopra is a comune of 5,306 inhabitants in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy.
The history of Osio Sopra has significant links to Osio Sotto's.
Early settlements can be traced to Ancient Roman times, when an important communication road linked Milan to Bergamo passing through the bridge 'Ponte Corvo' in the Marne locality. In Bergamo, the last section of this road was in-fact named 'via Osio', highlighting the importance of the location.
During those times, Osio underwent an important process of centuriation, with which a first development of the 'pagus' took place; the name 'Osio' originates from the Patrician 'gens Otia'.
