Province of Brescia

The province encompasses Lake Garda, Lake Iseo, and Lake Idro, along with the Southern Rhaetian Alps and valleys of Camonica, Trompia, and Sabbia.

The Province of Brescia was officially established on October 23, 1859, becoming the largest administrative territory within the Lombardy region of northern Italy.

The Rock Drawings in Valcamonica represent one of the largest collections of prehistoric petroglyphs, displaying over 140,000 figures carved in the rock surface.

The territory connects to neighboring provinces through mountain passes, railway networks, and major highways, facilitating transportation between Milan, Venice, and the Alpine regions.

The Franciacorta region within the province produces method-traditional sparkling wines using the same techniques as Champagne production in France.
