Brescia
Brescia is a rich industrial city in Lombardy between Lake Garda, Lake Iseo and the Val Trompia in the foothills of the Alps, about 100 km east of Milan, and the capital of the province of Brescia. Vintage car aficionados flock to Brescia to witness the start and finish of the Mille Miglia race, and wine lovers appreciate the local Franciacorta wines.
