Adro is a municipality in the province of Brescia, located in the heart of Franciacorta, one of Italy’s most renowned wine-producing areas. The town is surrounded by hills and vineyards but offers much more than picturesque views and excellent wines.
The centre preserves an interesting historical and architectural heritage. In addition to the Parish Church of San Giovanni Battista, other notable buildings include the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Castello, located in a panoramic position and surrounded by the remains of ancient walls and a medieval tower, and the Church of Santa Maria in Favento, which is smaller but full of charm. Near the centre is the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve, a place of worship vry dear to the local population and the many pilgrims who visit every year.
The 17th-century Palazzo Bargnani-Dandolo, now the town hall, once a place of culture, art and Risorgimento thought, bears witness to the deep bond between Adro and history. Its rooms, with their 19th-century paintings, tell the story of a vibrant period in Italian history.
Not far from the centre is Torbiato, a hamlet of Adro, surrounded by vineyards and the tranquillity of the Franciacorta countryside. Here too, you can breathe in the authenticity of the area, among farms, wineries and well-preserved rural landscapes.
For nature lovers, Monte Alto offers hiking trails through woods and panoramic views of the plain and nearby Lake Iseo.
