Brescia is today with its energy and dynamism a modern and well organised city, geared above all to the world of work, but its notable historical and artistic treasures and its 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.
