Gambara Coat of Arms

The Gambara’s family 
Gambara’s were an ancient family of Bavarian noble origins, who came down in Italy (Brescia) during the barbarian invasions. At the time of the Magyar depredations they strenuously defended the monastery's abbots of Leno, and to reward them for what they did, the monks gave the family as a feud the lands south of Leno. One of the municipality obtained from the family was Gambara, from which they derived their name.
Over time the prestige of the family increased in sync with the rapid decline of the monastery of Leno, and so the Gambara obtained many lands being able to create even a small real state organization in the central-east of Lower Brescia; due to that they started to collide with the Martinengo family, who owned the western part of the plain of Brescia.
The family from the second half the eighteenth century started to abandon their lands.
Among its most illustrious exponents the family counts:

  • Pietro Gambara (1440? -1504), Leader. 
  • Gian Francesco Gambara (XV century), writer and father of Veronica. 
  • Veronica Gambara (1485-1550), poetess. 
  • Uberto Gambara (1489-1549), cardinal.


 
I Gambara

I Gambara furono un'antica famiglia di nobili origini di provenienza bavarese Essi discesero in Italia (nel bresciano) durante le invasioni barbariche. Al tempo delle depredazioni magiare essi difesero strenuamente gli abati del monastero di Leno, e per ricompensarli di ciò i monaci donarono in feudo alla famiglia loro terre a sud di Leno. Uno dei comuni ottenuti dalla famiglia fu proprio quello di Gambara, dal quale presero il nome.
Col passare del tempo il prestigio della famiglia aumentò anche in sincronismo con il rapido declino del monastero di Leno; e fu così che i Gambara ottennero numerose terre riuscendo a creare una piccola seppur vera e propria organizzazione statale nella zona centro-orientale della Bassa Bresciana; e venendosi a scontrare così con i Martinengo, che possedevano la zona occidentale della pianura bresciana.
La famiglia abbandonò solo a partire dalla seconda metà dell'Ottocento l'ultimo comune.

La famiglia annovera tra i suoi più illustri esponenti:

  • Pietro Gambara (1440?-1504), condottiero.
  • Gian Francesco Gambara (XV secolo), letterato e padre di Veronica.
  • Veronica Gambara (1485-1550), poetessa.
  • Uberto Gambara (1489-1549), cardinale. qui per effettuare modifiche.

Brescia Castle
Perched on top of Mount Cidneo, Brescia Castle dominates the Italian city’s skyline. Its views across to the city below, the Alps and the Po Valley in the distance mean it has been dubbed ‘Il Falco d’Italia’ (The Falcon of Italy), and on a clear day it’s even possible to see as far west as Milan.

Originally the site of a Roman temple, it was later home to a Christian church. A fort first appeared there during the Middle Ages. The powerful Visconti family began its expansion in the fourteenth century by creating a circular fortress, known as the Mastio Visconteo. At the end of the 16th century, when the city was part of the Venetian Republic, a drawbridge and moat were added, and the Venetian symbol of a lion is carved in stone above the main gate.

The castle’s impressive façade with its glistening white stone keep, fairytale tower, massive ramparts and drawbridge all make it a pleasant place to take a stroll or have a picnic, finishing off by admiring the spectacular view from the shady garden at the summit.


Il Castello di Brescia

Arroccato sulla cima del monte Cidneo, il Castello di Brescia domina il panorama della città italiana. Le sue vedute della città sottostante, le Alpi e la Pianura Padana in lontananza hanno fatto si che gli venisse attribuito il soprannome di “Falco d'Italia” e in una giornata limpida è anche possibile portare lo sguardo ad ovest fino Milano.

Nato come sito di un tempio romano, fu in seguito sede di una chiesa cristiana. Un primo forte apparve durante il Medioevo. La potente famiglia Visconti ha iniziato la sua espansione nel XIV secolo con la creazione di una fortezza circolare, nota come il Mastio Visconteo. Alla fine del 16° secolo, quando la città era parte della Repubblica di Venezia, sono stati aggiunti un ponte levatoio e un fossato. Il legame con la repubblica Veneta è testimoniato dal Leone di San Marco scolpito nella pietra sopra la porta principale.

L’imponente facciata del castello, con la sua pietra bianca scintillante, la torre delle favole, gli imponenti bastioni e il ponte levatoio ne fanno un luogo piacevole per fare una passeggiata o fare un picnic, con la possibilità di ammirare dalla sua sommità la spettacolare vista dal giardino ombroso.
