Brescello

Brescello extends over 24 square kilometers along the southern bank of the Po River, bordered by the provinces of Parma and Mantua.

The Roman settlement of Brixillum held strategic importance until the Byzantines destroyed it in the 7th century to prevent Lombard king Agilulf's expansion.

The Archaeological Museum Albino Umiltà displays Roman artifacts and sculptures within a former Benedictine monastery that now functions as a cultural center.

The municipality maintains regular public auctions for properties, with upcoming events scheduled for buildings on Via Bellini and Via della Repubblica.

The town gained recognition as the filming location for the Don Camillo and Peppone movie series, with props including a tank displayed in a dedicated museum.
