Question

Can you tell me some sights about Brescia?

Italian Wikipedia should help. Google has often solution --Fredericks (msg) 15:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that Bressa has been moved back to Brescia. You can find 'Bressa' in the Oxford dictionary, and, as far as I know, it's a widespreadly accepted English name (maybe only UK?). Thus I think we shouldn't use a stranger name. Surprisingly enough, I found only this evidence in the web:

So I am afraid I have to insist upon Bressa. No rush, however; we could try a mediation as well. Summing up: it does exist (but, isn't it an odd category?) Sincerely yours, --Lombard06 14:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The link you brought as evidence is not related to Brescia but to Bressa di Campoformido, 7.5 km from Udine, in the administrative region called Friuli (North east of Italy).

I'm Italian and I live in Brescia so I can assure u that the correct name in Brescia. G.

Except this is an *English* encyclopaedia. You'll also find the article on Italy entitled "Italy", not "Italia". We use accepted *English* terms for things and places. Tomalak Geret'kal (talk) 15:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My Last Name Is BRESCIA!

My name is Nicole Brescia i am a 14 year old girl living in the u.s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.119.154 (talk) 21:11, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brescia is a very common surname throughout Italy. Mariokempes (talk) 20:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

bressa

firtst of all bressa is the name in local language of Brescia: In fact there are other municipality with name like BRESSAnone or so on.Then when you're reading about other versions about writing rightly the name,like Bresa. you should know that there are different way about pronounciating the "s": some people speak it very hard (like a zed) , other more softly....if they say it hard, they prefer to write a double s, otherwise they write only an s. Other argument: the history of brixia :) under austrian control: when you speak about 1984 revolution and the 10 days, you're speaking twice of the same thing...

Insertation of hyperlink

Perhaps you could insert this connection? http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duomo_vecchio_(Brescia)&ei=RdbWS8-1HoeM8wSkwNWlBw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CA0Q7gEwAg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dduomo%2Bvecchio%2Bla%2Brotonda%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4ADBR_enUS315US315 69.92.23.64 (talk) 12:30, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Ronald L.

Mythological origins

The article says:

"According to a further myth, the founder was the king of the Ligures, Cidnus, who had invaded the Padan Plain in the late Bronze Age; this myth has given its name to the hill where the medieval castle now stands, called Colle Cidneo (Cidnus's Hill)."

1) What is the ultimate source of this myth?

2) How old is the name "Colle Cidneo", and how we know that.

Proposed merge with Brixia

Brixia is said to be the Latin name for Brescia. This can be a disambiguation page. Shyamal (talk) 06:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Made Brixia into a disambig page. There was nothing substantial/reliable to merge in. Shyamal (talk) 05:07, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

population

I'm a bit puzzled by the population figures - city 196,480: urban area 672,822: metropolitan area 1.5 million: Province over 1,200,000 (not over 1.5 million?). Vince Calegon 12:10, 8 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Calegon (talk • contribs)

Broccoli

It has been said (told to me by a friend whose family hailed from Brescia, Italy) that Brescia is known locally for first developing the broccoli plant. Is that true? There is some historical evidence suggesting that Brescia, Italy, played a role in the early cultivation of broccoli. The region, known for its agricultural heritage, likely contributed to the cultivation and development of the broccoli plant, along with other cruciferous vegetables. The Etruscans, who inhabited the Italian region now known as Tuscany, are believed to have bred the earliest species of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, indicating a long history of cultivation in Italy. While Brescia may not be the sole originator, it likely played a part in the early development of broccoli.^[1]^[2]MaynardClark (talk) 01:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC) [reply]
