Brenzone, a land, a past


testimony of civilizations so different between them are telling us this thousand years history.

The oldest evidence of how already about 4,500 years ago man lived these lands, is based in the city hall of Brenzone. From that period to the present day different populations have alternated and the village has seen change its politics several times, never forgetting the nature and landscape that distinguishes today.

At first were the Germanic tribe called Brenni from which, one of the most popular hypothesis is that the name Brenzone derives, then the Roman Empire, the Venetian houses in middle age and finally by Venice and its Republic. Under the wings of the St. Mark’s lion the first families settled as the family named “Brenzone from the Lion” who left their mark in the municipal coat of arms.

The alternation of the different historical periods is still clear all over municipality. The stone of Castelletto, the Roman villa, the medieval’s churches, the ethnographic museum, or easily having a walk throughs the olive threes lead to the hamlet of Campo.
