Verolanuova Verolanuova
is a successful agricultural and commercial town. Its Parish church has two paintings by
Giambattista Tiepolo measuring 66 m2, the "Sacrifice of Melchisedech" and
"Manna from Heaven" which Venetian artists executed in 1738. Orzinuovi Situated strategically over the river Oglio, Orzinuovi has maintained its military origins in its modern town layout although very little remains of the fortifications built by Sanmicheli, Venice's architect. The heart of the town is the central square which dates from the end of the 12th century and where every month an Antiques market is held.
Of the great works of art on the Brescian plain, three of the greatest are to be found
in Travagliato: "The road to Calvary" and "Deposition from the Cross"
in the Parish church, and the fresco "Our Lady of the Assumption" in the Chiari Chiari is an important town in the west of the province with a pleasant historic centre
of 17th and 18th century buildings. The Cathedral, dedicated
to Santi Faustino e Giovita, dates form the 15th century but was greatly
rebuilt 300 years later. |
