Iseo CITY
I'm very happy the town of Iseo, has a relaxed atmosphere, great parking and a pleasant walk with views of the lake and Monte Isola. It's very busy, especially with Italian families and couples.
Iseo was a commercial center in Roman times and was an important port until the end of the 19th century. is the hero of Italian unification movement, celebrated with a statue of Garibaldiand sources in the main square. Also in this square is the Palazzo Vantini built in 1833 and now used as City Hall. The Parish of St. Andrew dates from the 12th century, and its characteristic bell tower triangle. Oldofredi the 11th century castle has recently been restored and is now the library of the city.
South of the city are bogs; Sebino is now a nature reserve. Lake Iseo was around 10 meters deep in the past, but erosionthe river Oglio at the southern basin has caused the lake level began to fall, to cut a shallow basin, which gradually became a swamp with large deposits of peat. During the industrialization of the 19th century local factories began with peat as an energy source, over time most of the excavation of peat deposits. Imagine being dug with a shovel peat in a cage with five feet of control!
Evidence of prehistoric settlement was found during peat cutting: stoneArrowheads, swords and daggers of 5000 BC. Now the area is of great scientific interest and home to many species of birds and fish.
The Franciacorta, south of Iseo, known for its sparkling wines. In the mid 1950s began, a young entrepreneur, sparkling wine to emulate the method used in the French region of Champagne making. This means that the second fermentation takes place in the bottle of wine, a process that takes about two years. Now, this valleyproduces the legally protected Franciacorta wine, assuring hand with traditional methods of champagne in one of the thirty wineries are in the area. Visits to wineries and wine tastings can be arranged. Wine lovers can visit for three days in September for the Wine Festival, with tasting, special meals and visits to wineries.

Sarnico
Sarnico is the first resort heading west from Iseo. Originally a small heap of prehistory, in its current form, where the lakes narrows and once again the Oglio. There are frescoes in 1200 AD, the church of San Nazario and Rocca di Castione. You can still see ruined medieval ramparts.
For some Sarnico is best known as the home of the first known speedboat company Riva. Athe most fascinating aspects of the history of business for me is the journey of Pietro Riva from his hometown, Lake Como to Sarnico Lagi 1842 The young Peter was out, start a new process of repairing boats in Sarnico, its travel 70 kilometers, it took two days to travel by ship, train and bus.
The repairs were so successful that soon he was commissioned to build ships. The boat building business grew under his son, Ernesto, boats powered by piston production has begunMotors.
In 1912, Ernesto, the son of Serafin reached a speed of 24 mph in a boat. Riva became a prestigious brand, sought by the rich and famous as a status symbol. But I do not see boats on Lake Iseo, because it allowed for environmental reasons in 1976!
Sarnico is home to the Bellini Gallery, a gallery exhibiting around 150 pieces, mainly from the period between the 16th and 18th century. The gallery is located in the old part of town andis a former convent. In the exhibition of sculptures and furniture.
The palace of twenty railroad along Oglio Sarnico. Volunteers reopened this line recently. TrenoBlu is called, is often operated with steam. The trains leave in the summer. There are rail connections from Bergamo and Milan.
Just outside Sarnico, heading east, is the Faccononi Villa, one of the best Art Nouveau architects from Italy, Sommaruga, family Faccani rich. The townLake shows Sommaruga brand floral style.
Riva dropped
The range is the most dramatic Tavèrnoles northern West Bank. Just to clarify the quarry Tavèrnoles! Riva is a fishing village, full of arches and alleys. The old town is the hill Zorzino. The Zorzino Bong, with its vertical slabs of limestone in Mount Clemens, creates a closed bay. Further north of Bogno Castro.
Lovere
The area of Loverewas occupied by the Gauls in the Iron Age, and the second century BC the Roman settlement began to take shape.
Lovere remaining walls of his days as a medieval fortified city. The oldest church in the 12th century Capell di San Martino. The city was in the 15th century as Venetian textile town known. Most of the production of wool fabrics were sold in Germany and Austria. In the early 16th century was a period of turmoil, with periods of stateFrench, the Holy Roman Empire and Spain, a significant break in production and distribution of tissues. There was a fight after that century with plagues and famine. In the 17th century, the authorities had tackled the issue of security of bandits and some noblemen began to travel to Lombardy in Lovere for your vacation. The Basilica of Santa Maria dates from the 15th century and houses an organ fresh issue of 16 century. Lake Palace Tadini contains the School ofVisual Arts, a gallery of paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Count Luigi Tadini began this collection in his hometown of cream. The families of Tadini only son died in 1799 in Lovere which often took holidays. Count Tadini provided the funds for the construction of the Palace, in memory of his son.
The English writer and poet Lady Mary Wortley Montagu lived in a village on the outskirts of Love in 1740. Lady Mary wrote "several letters to his daughter in the garden of the town, andwas inspired to write poetry by the beauty of its surroundings. In fact, rejected the invitation to the Venice carnival saying, there are many things to do in this town, which is among other things, one of the most beautiful in existence. Lady Mary was moved to Italy in 1741, ostensibly for health reasons, although he thought he no longer wanted to live with her husband. Lady Mary had gone to Turkey as wife of the British and there met with the practice ofVaccination against smallpox. He had his children inoculated but was never adequate credit for introducing the practice in the UK since then. Mary married the daughter of Lady Lord Bute, who in 1762 became Prime Minister of Britain a year after the death of Lady Mary.
Lovere has another literary George Sand, the French novelist who wrote of Lake Iseo to a friend in London, Come, I found a nice place to live. Arenas real name was Georges Aurore Dupin, butHands gave a name because it was novelists of the 19th century for women, often dressed man. He had a long relationship with Chopin. After its breakup in 1847, wrote the novel Lucrezia Floriana. The love story between a young Italian nobleman and a lady is in the Mountain Isola. They say that romance novel in search of inspiration for many visits to the ladies in the area!
Lovere in 1854 was the industrial revolution, the development offirst large steel complex in the region. Love and prosper as an industrial center in 1980, but this has left a scar on the landscape.
Camonica
As you head north around the lake, you can visit a small deviation Vallecamonica. This valley is 90 km long and contains 41 towns and villages, making it the longest valley in Italy. The healing power of water from the spa town of Boario Terme were written as early as 1497 by naturalistParacelsus. The Italian Manzoni was a regular visitor, living to the age of 88 years. Near Capo di Ponte is the National Rock Engraving Park, with the Neolithic cave paintings to the Iron Age. The sizes refer to the history of the tribe Camuno during this period. It is a great site with thousands of figures: an enormous stone history book. One of the most common size is increasing as the emblem of CamunoLombardia. On this side of Archeopark an outdoor interactive playground where you can enjoy various activities such as lighting daily prehistoric fire, archery and arrow and grinding corn and bread. The building is a real Archeodromo a Neolithic village with six huts perched on a rocky hill. Some schools remain in the village for a few days to get an authentic taste of prehistoric life. Personally, I think and not go back to my hotel bedShower. The traditional art of wood carving continues in this area. The wooden handicrafts Cammunian Boario Spa, where there are all kinds of religious ornaments baby cots can be found in the area. A fusion of modern techniques of 16th century and used to prepare the right.
Pisogne
Pisogne was an important center for trade in the Middle Ages - a large weekly market was held there. The city had a wall and a door system, but not muchallowed to stand for sale. In the Market Square were hung in a cage suspended from the tower for non-payment of taxes by the bishop. Taxes rose almost anything - Fishing, hunting, milling, salt and iron. The bishops were forbidden that any punishment could result due to blood loss was so humiliating, the second best way to extract their contributions. In 1518 eight women accused of witchcraft were locked in the Tower before the widow burning.
Only in the Market Square is SantaMary of the Assumption Church, which contains a body of 150 years. The facade of the Palazzo Fanzango medallions with the characters in the book that I decorated boyfriend (the boyfriend) written by Manzoni. This is an important part of Italian literature, tells the story of how love triumphed for two peasants despite the efforts of a local tyrant. The book also features a vivid description of the spread of plague in the 17th century in Milan.
In the late 17th century, Pisognewas the home of the famous bandit Giorgi Vicario. There was not much brotherly loyalty between the bandits as Vicario locate and killed Giuseppe technology for a reward. no techie delivered on a tray decorated with bay leaves to the authorities. A double whammy, a reward and less competition in your area!
Pisogne host the festival of mushrooms and chestnuts on the last Sunday of September.
Maron
Marone is situated in a location in a green valley at the footMonte Guglielmo. There are remains of a Roman villa of the century, the Hela Co. as the city in force. Beside the lake is the Parish of the tour from the 18th century, the Baroque church with a marble altar. Marone was well known for the production of wool fabrics and felt, and the extraction of dolomite. Today tourism is the main industry.
A few kilometers upstream from Marone on the road in the area are the pyramids. You are an amazing spectacle: the towers of the earth fine of up to 30 feet,with large granite rocks placed almost like hats. The Pyramids are not static, as it reduced, resulting in the fall of the stone and build new pyramids.
On the way to the Pyramids is the church of San Giorgio and the outer flank are the frescoes of the 15th century painting, including St. George slaying the dragon.
Also on the hill is the area of the village. As you ascend you can see what he initially thought it was a chair, over the road. ItIn fact suspended containers, which carry the dolomite quarry Calarusso below. Somehow reminds me of a mountain village in Switzerland, the air was so fresh and crisp. There are two interesting churches on the Piazza ALMICO: The octagonal 18th century Beata Suspension of Lourdes and the 17th century the Parish Ballista S Young, with wooden works of art by Andrea Falconi. The festival of honey is held in place in early August. In the area there are severalHiking trails and if you feel energy, the summit of Monte Guglielmo.
Monte Isola
The largest lake island in Europe is 3km long, rising 600 meters above sea level and is sometimes referred to as the pearl of Iseo. Only public transport vehicles with four wheels are allowed on the island. If most of the "island you can rent a bicycle or use it to see the local bus. There is a possibility, the level of sweetness along the south coast villagePeschiera Maraglio Sensol return to the ferry Sensol. If you are a little "more energetic, you can visit the 13th century Sanctuary of Our Lady of the conical shape, set the highest point of the island.
The 14th century, the fortified house of the family Olofredi Martinango. And "one of the best preserved castles in the region. E 'the tallest tower in the center of his unusual.
The population of the island in 1700, notWorkers in the tourism sector to work as fishermen, in yards or networks making. In fact, the networks of the goal posts of the 1982 World Cup local manufacturing. Guess what '- Italy wins the Cup this year! Although there are many Naets see traditional fishing boats of wood. Some hooks are left to dry in the sun in the traditional way.
Visit a traditional shipyard in Peschier Maraglio, and see the art of timberBoats.
I think Monte Isola to visit a lovely, quiet, still relatively quiet and relaxing. It's very rich in forests, when viewed from the edge so you can imagine its difficult to reach the summit.
One of the main events on the island is the festival Corzan, a village in the year 1600 on the dates. This is done every five years.
There are regular ferry services from several cities in the lake in the coastal cities of MountainIsland
