THE CITY
The city of Brescia, 149 metres above sea level, lies at the foot of the hills below the Pre-Alps,
almost at the mouth of the Trompia valley. It is bordered to the north-east by Cidneo Hill, an
extension of Mount Maddalena, which rises to the east. There are very pleasant panoramic roads
which climb the slopes of the hilly zone of the Ronchi amid varied almost Mediterranean
vegetation.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, in the presence of vigorous industrial growth, the city has
been expanding. The demolition of the city walls, which began towards the end of the previous
century and the urbanization of the green areas which separated the old city centre from outlying
villages, destroyed the original conformation of the town. The wide ring roads, built where the
walls once stood, connect the different districts and ease the traffic in the town, which still has an
historic city centre quite different from the newer parts.
Today the population of Brescia is about 200,000 - the same number as at the end of the postwar
period. It is the second most important city in Lombardy and capital of a province with a
population of over a million. With a territory of which more than half is mountainous, it has
become one of the most industrialised areas of Italy.
Brescia combines the efficiency of a modern town with the attractions of a historic city full of art
treasures and offers the visitor the pleasure of strolling through a fascinating urban setting which
reveals its past history. A number of judicious improvements have been made, from setting up
pedestrian areas and providing plants and benches for gardens and streets, to the work carried out
in the quiet residential area surrounding one of the major museum complexes in Italy: Santa
Giulia - the City Museum with 12,000 m² of exhibition space. It was opened to the public in 1999
and since 2011 it is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for the serial site Longobards in
Italy. Places of the power (568-774 AD).

EXPO 2015
The 2015 Micheletti Award Meeting and Ceremony will be held in the town of Brescia, seat of the
Micheletti Foundation and the sister organization Museum of Industry and Labour FoundationMUSIL.
Brescia is located about 45-60 minutes from Milan and connected by train to Milan’s airports as
well as to the low cost flights airport of Bergamo-Orio al Serio, which is less than 30 minutes by
bus or train from Brescia. The train line (www.trenitalia.com) is the one from Milan to Venice via
Verona and Lake Garda, so there is the chance to plan nice excursions at a distance of no longer
than two hours by train.
The date of our event in Brescia is 7-8-9 May 2015, the same week that the great Universal
Expo 2015 will be open in Milan under the theme ‘Feed the Planet’, a great event not to be missed.
145 countries will be present and among them certainly also YOUR country. To know more about
this event you can visit the website http://www.expo2015.org/
Every country has organised its pavilion and programme independently, but in addition to what
will happen within the precincts of the EXPO, Milan will be full of cultural international events
which will profit from the special visibility offered by the large number of visitors expected (about
20 million people) .
Expo in città is the project developed by the Municipality and the Milan Chamber of Commerce that
coordinates and promotes the offer of cultural and recreational initiatives, and which will be held
inside the metropolitan area during Expo 2015. Expo in città manages a virtual catalogue of the
spaces and locations available for these events, offering a unique supporting service for obtaining
the necessary permits and
licences. Some of the venues are expensive but others are at very
affordable prices. The catalogue is available at the following website: http://it.expoincitta.com/.

THE LUIGI MICHELETTI FOUNDATION (Fondazione Biblioteca Archivio Luigi Micheletti)
The Foundation (established in 1991 in Brescia) is a research centre specialising in 20th-century
history. Scientific research covers ideologies of the 20th century, wars, the ambivalence of
technical progress, industrialization and labour, conspicuous consumption, the origin of
environmentalism. The ideological, social and material contemporary history, led by international
researches and conferences, is linked to a rich collection: writings, postcards, photos, posters,
videos, audio documents, but also objects, furniture and machines. It is in this context that the
MUSIL – Museum of Industry and Labour – was created, in order to focus on the recovery of
productive plants and whole urban areas.
