Are you ready to enjoy the show?
It was precisely on 6 October 800 years ago that the city, under the siege of Frederick II of Swabia, resisted strenuously. The emperor’s plan, which involved a pincer maneuver to take Milan, in fact encountered an obstacle: Brescia.
Crooked castle
The climb to the entrance to the castle is packed, where adults and children alike are enchanted by the re-enactors of the Brotherhood of the Lion. Here, among shining armour, historical weapons and banners, the re-enactment brings to life the key moments of the siege: from the parliament before the battle to the incursions of the Brescian knights and infantry into the emperor’s camps, up to the surrender of Frederick II.
