Brescia is today with her energy and dynamism a modern and well organised city, geared above all to the world of work, but her notable historical and artistic treasures and her picturesque corners make her a centre of great interest and importance. The most obvious characteristics are the result of changes made between the XVIII  and  XIX centuries, but strolling through the centre of Brescia is like leafing through the pages of a history book. Linear modern buildings exist side by side with the dynamism of the fashionable main street, the colourful and typical liveliness of alley ways and thoroughfares, the splash of fountains, the majesty of palaces and ancient residences, the  tranquillity of cloisters ,the devout silence of churches, the treasures conserved in museums
