Explore every episode of the podcast MA TU GUARDA! STORIES OF BRESCIA

What are an old locomotive, a collection of swords and the largest model railway in Europe

doing inside a Medieval fortress? In this episode we climb the Cidneo hill to discover

Brescia’s best-loved building, with all the treasures guarded within its walls: from memories

of the zoo to the telescopes aimed at the stars.

Did you know that the Palazzo della Loggia rests on hundreds of wooden poles, like a stilt

house? Hiding under the streets and buildings of Brescia is an invisible world waiting to be

discovered. In this episode we light our torches to explore hidden rivers, secret tunnels and

driverless trains, in a breathtaking journey between past and future.

An adventure through the streets of Brescia in search of animals that tell its story: from the

mysterious snake swallowing a man, to the roaring of the Dragone river, and the iconic

Lioness. Discover how Medieval coats of arms and modern sculptures hide our city’s most

fascinating secrets!
