Historical shops in Brescia

Historical shops are one of the jewels in the crown of Brescia.

The city actually boasts a long list of ” Historical and traditional activities “ recognized as such by Regione Lombardia. This title is given to shops, premises and workshops that have existed with no interruption for at least 40 years and that have kept the same management, sign and type of product category. Other important factors add to this, such as their placement in prestigious structures and the conservation of historical furnishings and equipment.
