Da Sofia, the grocery of Zambla Bassa at via Vidali 403: the hamlet's only shop, phone number, how to get there by car or bus and the nearest other shops.

AddressVia Vidali 403, Zambla Bassa
Phone0345 95248

Zambla Bassa has a single shop, and this is it: the grocery at via Vidali 403, the street that runs through the hamlet. The Pro Loco, on its page about the shops of the area, calls it Da Sofia – Alimentari Tiraboschi; the council's list of shops records it as Alimentari Tiraboschi Pierina. The phone number, 0345 95248, is the same in both sources, which is what tells us it is the same shop.

Public sources say little more: we found no website, no official social media pages, no advertisement in the Pro Loco's summer booklet and no published opening hours, and the shop is not mapped on OpenStreetMap. It is the typical hamlet grocery that residents rely on; for people on holiday in the houses of Zambla Bassa it is the nearest shop, and before counting on it for your shopping it is worth a phone call.

The village is small and compact: the shop is about 200 metres as the crow flies from the parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena. For everything else you have to move: Zambla Alta, with the bakery and another grocery, is about 700 metres away as the crow flies, the centre of the main village about 1.3 kilometres.

What you'll find

  • Groceries
  • The only shop in Zambla Bassa

One shop, two names: Da Sofia and Alimentari Tiraboschi Pierina

You may find the shop under two names. The Pro Loco calls it Da Sofia and adds Alimentari Tiraboschi; the council, in its list of shops, records it under Alimentari Tiraboschi Pierina, at via Vidali 403. The council's list is not up to date in all its entries: the phone number shared by the two sources is the most reliable piece of information.

The surname should not mislead you: in the municipality there are two other groceries with the name Tiraboschi on the sign, one in via Perletti in the main village and one in via Fezzoli in Zambla Alta, as well as the Panificio Tiraboschi Andrea, also in Zambla Alta. They are different shops with different phone numbers.

Opening hours and phone

Neither the council nor the Pro Loco publishes opening hours, and no other source we read gives them. The number to call is 0345 95248, given by both. Use it before relying on the shop for something specific: there are no other shops in the hamlet.

How to get there and where to stop

Zambla Bassa is reached from the SP27 provincial road, at the junction between the main village and Zambla Alta: via Vidali is the local road that leads from the junction into the hamlet and runs through it. Bus travellers have the Arriva–Bergamo Trasporti line B, but the timetable only gives times for piazza Tiraboschi in the main village, the Albergo Miramonti in Zambla Alta and the Passo Zambla: OpenStreetMap shows a stop on the provincial road at the Zambla Bassa junction, about 220 metres from the shop as the crow flies, without a timetable of its own. The line does not run on Sundays and public holidays.

In an emergency it helps to know that the nearest public defibrillator is on the outside wall of the parish centre on via Vidali, about 225 metres away as the crow flies, recorded by AREU as available every day at any time; in case of cardiac arrest, call 112 immediately.
