Ep.13: Brescia carved in stone – The medolo and Botticino marble
from Ma tu guarda! – Brescia to listen to · host Comune di Brescia
Two stones tell the story of Brescia: medolo, a humble material, and the Botticino marble, famous worldwide. They have both been used to build theatres, churches, palaces, and monuments — from the Duomo Vecchio to the Altare della Patria, all the way to the White House in Washington. A story of cleverness, architecture, and art, that links the city’s identity to a heritage capable of traveling beyond its borders.#Brescia #Lombardy #Italy #medolo #Botticinomarble #architecture #DuomoVecchio #Loggia
