The "lioness" of Italy, mostly undiscovered by tourists
Lombardy's second-largest city contains a magnificent, ancient legacy, including a partially reconstructed Roman capitol temple and the amphitheatre which once seated 15,000 people. The cathedral dates back to the 11th century and the pinacoteca houses works by Raphael and Lorenzo Lotto.

If Rome is a giant open-air museum, then Milan is a huge open-air catwalk. Here it's not pleasure that is indulged, as elsewhere in Italy...

Brescia is nestled in the hills of the Po Valley to welcome visitors with an exuberant nature. Between neo-classical Roman ruins and cathedrals: the Cathedral of Santa Maria Asssunta, we look back centuries and remain suspended in time. Another remarkable building is the Rotunda or the Old Cathedral, with its works of Romanino. Of course, the story so could not miss the castles and may be the emblematic Castillo de Brescia who also serves as a museum of weapons. However, absolutely not miss is Lake Garda, a haven for those who moved away from the crowd or a place to find fun and sports.
A place not to miss if you are on holidays at Garda Lake. Check out the great art exhibitions at the Santa Giulia Museum!
