Rotary Clubs Meeting 1978
BRESCIA-FRANCIACORTA 10th-13th SEPTEMBER 2015
We are pleased to invite you to our wonderful area and discover Brescia, Lake of
Garda and Franciacorta region.
Brescia is a city of art recently included in the list of World Heritage Site by Unesco
with its monumental complex of Santa Giulia-San Salvatore and the surrounding
archaeological area.
Alongside a dynamic and hospitable city, you will find the beautiful Lake of Garda and
Iseo Lake.
Lake of Garda is the largest lake in Europe and has so much to offer: art,
entertainment, sports, nature and landscapes. The lake offers to every tourist a
unique atmosphere.
Between Brescia and the picturesque Iseo Lake lies the charming heart of
Franciacorta, a land filled with colors and scents that produces world renowned wines.
This region appears to the gaze of tourists as a landscape of gentle hills, where one
can enjoy wandering through the vineyards, hiking, biking or riding on horseback
down the trails. A place with uncommon charm, dotted with castles, churches and
villas, it offers pleasant historic-artistic itineraries.
For golf lovers, the Franciacorta Golf Club is easily to reach. It was opened in 1986
and is characterized by smoothly winding golf holes through small forests, along the
lake and with spectacular views over the valley and the surrounding vineyards of
Franciacorta.

the medieval village of Sirmione under control while the latter are the remains of an
ancient Roman villa (1st century A.D.) located at the end of the Sirmione peninsula: a
