Via Monte Ladino, 82, Lumezzane

The cluster is in the Val Trompia, with the pre-Alps immediately around it and the ridge of Monte Guglielmo within the surrounding mountain system. The Mella river runs down the valley toward Brescia. Lake Garda and Lake Iseo are outside the 15 km landscape and do not define the immediate setting. Brescia is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and major historic monuments. The area is known above all for its long metalworking and firearms industry rather than for a protected natural or historic landscape.
