ON TRAIL OF DAMASKIdeal for 4/5 participants

“Because of interweaving of iron and steel rods the brescian damask came to existence”. From this antique work, valuable production of guns got produced and today they are protected by smithies in the village Maglio of Ome, in Franciacorta. The factory Fratelli Piotti of Gardone Valle Trompia took some own guns to heart in its collection, true and own craft jewelry which are self-made, thanks to pass on as a passion between father and son.

ART OF WORK & ART MASTERPIECESIdeal for 15 participants

“To expect to pass the passion for engraving only in oral way on, is like to expect to eat one’s fill by just looking at bread”. With this motive the itinerary starts at the workshop for engraving Cesare Giovanelli Srl, which transmits the passion for engraving for over 50 years to the young generation. The trip continues with a visit of a museum for weapons and tradition of weapons in Gardone Val Trompia and ends with an unforgettable view of the birthplace from Beato Paolo VI as well as of his contemporary art collection that includes artists like Matisse, Chagall, Picasso, Dalí and Magritte.

THE VOLCANO SMITHYIdeal for 25 participants

Just like the work in the smithy of the Greek God Hephaestus (for Italians the volcano), it also was for workmen in Valle Trompia and still it is and stays a place where iron is important for every work. Come and see the iron smithy, mining industry and arms manufacturer as well as the international well-known business: the armaments factory Pietro Beretta Spa.
