Ciliverghe, Villa Mazzucchelli Giacomini

The design of Villa Mazzucchelli is attributed to the Venetian architect Giorgio Massari. Constructed in 1735-55, it was decorated with frescoes and statues by the most noted Brescian artists of the era: Scalvini, Savani, Calegari. The left side of the residence goes back to 1580.
In the pronaos, the six columns of Egyptian granite are particularly exceptional. They originally belonged to some Roman Brescia monuments and were re-employed in the Brescian cathedral of San Pietro de Dom which was demolished at the beginning of the XVI cent. to make space for the Duomo Nuovo.
The Fashion and Custom Museum, the Wine and Corkscrew Museum, the Gianmaria Mazzucchelli House Museum and the Giuseppe Alessandra Gallery are open from Tuesday to friday from 9 to 18; Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 18. (tel. 0302120975).
