European Heritage Days 2026: Discovering the roots of Brescia and Lake Garda

On September 26th and 27th, 2026, the territory around Brescia opens its doors to the public, bridging the gap between past and future. The European Heritage Days return with the theme “Protecting heritage. Renewing, resisting, reinventing,” inviting us to rediscover the places that define our identity.

In Brescia, the epicenter of the initiative, visitors will have extraordinary access to the Roman Basilica archaeological area and the Vantiniano Cemetery. Technology becomes a storytelling tool at the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo with the “Double Reality” project, while the Santa Giulia Museum will guide guests through the intricacies of medieval history and contemporary artistic testimonies.

The bond between art and territory extends to the shores of the lake. In Toscolano Maderno, the G.E. Ghirardi Botanical Garden and the Paper Museum offer activities that blend nature and craftsmanship. The Ugo Da Como Foundation in Lonato and the MarteS Museo d’Arte Sorlini in Calvagese provide unique perspectives on 19th-century collections and artistic masterpieces, allowing for a profound reading of local heritage. Valle Sabbia also actively participates, focusing on water resource protection with an event dedicated to the Chiese river and Lake Idro. These days are an invitation to observe our surroundings with fresh eyes, honoring the roots that make our region unique.
