Since 1927, Mille Miglia ties the name of Brescia to a timeless automotive legend. The race roads have seen legendary cars race by, the challenges of brave drivers and the shine of technical innovations. Mille Miglia is not just a race but a collective ritual that has turned the city into the world capital of historic motorsport. A roar that thrills and fascinates up to this day.

An invitation to experience the city and its province in a sustainable, free and stirring way.

On the one side is Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, a legendary pianist who charmed the world with his perfection. On the other side is Frah Quintale, a contemporary voice bringing urban beats to the Italian music scene. Two very different artists, connected by a common root: Brescia. A journey that shows how music, generation after generation, reflects the ever-changing face of a city.

Brescia is not just ancient elegance, it is also an open-air contemporary museum. Façades, walls and underpasses turn into as many canvases lent to the creativity of both local and international artists. Street art transforms the urban space, fills it with colour and meaning and brings new perspectives into everyday life. It is a journey through spontaneous artworks and shared projects that reveals the soul of a city in dialogue with the present.

During World War I, while many men were at the front, young women took the helm of Brescia’s trams — the tramvierine. Though initially met with suspicion, they and their work soon proved essential and became the symbol of a profound social shift. Their story tells the tale of an evolving city, where hardship gave rise to emancipation, courage and new opportunities for change and redemption.

‘Lodoiga’ is a legendary figure. Over the centuries, this statue has changed location many times and has thus become a living part of Brescia’s urban fabric. Popular, ironic, and poetic, this female statue embodies a part of the soul of Brescia and has therefore turned into a sort of modern installation that engages with the city and its people with her subtle smile.

Brescia’s fountains tell stories of abundance, beauty and urban transformation, through Athena and other mythical figures such as sirens or harpies. Brescia has been celebrated for centuries as the ‘city of a thousand fountains’ and has always intertwined its history with water, a vital and symbolic element that has shaped both its urban landscape and collective memory.
