    Ep.19: Brescia, a Vibrant Scene – the Teatro Grande and the Teatro Sociale

    Velvet curtains, applause, whispers of anticipation in the stalls.

    Ep.17: From Down in the Tunnels to Up in the Sky – Brescia Castle

    Secret passages, tunnels dug into the rock, ramparts that have witnessed armies advancing and retreating. Brescia Castle is much more than a fortress: it is a stone archive where every passage tells the story of an escape, a siege, a rebirth. A tour that begins in the darkness of the tunnels and emerges into the light high up above the city, from where the sky is the limit. #Brescia #Lombardy #Italy #BresciaCastle #Cidneo #fortifications #militaryhistory #hiddenpaths

    Ep.16: Sacred, Sweet and Pagan – The Festival of San Faustino

    The scent of sugar, the sound of chattering voices, stalls winding like a luminous snake through the heart of the city. The San Faustino fair is not just a popular festival, but a collective ritual that combines devotion, legend and a sense of community. With one very sweet star of the show...the tirapicio! #Brescia #Lombardy #Italy #SanFaustino #FestivalofSanFaustino #folktraditions #tirapicio

    Ep.14: The Winged Victory – Story of a rediscovered masterpiece

    It’s 1826. During an excavation campaign, a bronze statue re-emerges from oblivion: the Winged Victory. Mysterious and majestic, it has become one of the city’s symbols and an international source of pride. Its grace recalls the Greek models, but restoration analyses anchor it firmly to Brescia, where it continues to charm visitors and scholars alike. A masterpiece that spans through the centuries and keeps fascinating with its enigma. #Brescia #Lombardy #Italy #WingedVictory #ancientbronze #Capitolium #romansculpture

    Ep.13: Brescia carved in stone – The medolo and Botticino marble

    Two stones tell the story of Brescia: medolo, a humble material, and the Botticino marble, famous worldwide. They have both been used to build theatres, churches, palaces, and monuments — from the Duomo Vecchio to the Altare della Patria, all the way to the White House in Washington. A story of cleverness, architecture, and art, that links the city’s identity to a heritage capable of traveling beyond its borders. #Brescia #Lombardy #Italy #medolo #Botticinomarble #architecture #DuomoVecchio #Loggia

    In the centre of Brescia, just below the Castle, stretches the largest urban vineyard in Europe: the Pusterla, home to the ancient Invernenga grape variety. A little further on the Monte Maddalena stands, “mountain of the people in Brescia,” with its trails, vistas, and woods. Nature and culture intertwine in the city’s very core, revealing a unique green heritage that unites history, biodiversity, and the future. #Brescia #Lombardy #Italy #Pusterlavineyard #Invernengagrapevariety #MonteMaddalena #Castle
