Rebecca leads us through the alternative and elegant Brescia.

The province of Brescia is known for Lake Garda, “Il Lago di Garda”. But the city itself is a real insider tip! Rebecca shows us that Brescia has a bunch of surprises up its sleeve, “Brescia riserva grandi sorprese”! Together, we’ll discover Roman ruins, visit a medieval castle with the largest vineyard in Europe, check out a huge glacier, and spend a few quiet moments in a former monastery. And we’ll learn more, too! What’s the difference between a Pirlo and a Spritz? And where can you find the best “casoncelli al burro e salvia”?
