From Tarello to Sanpolino metro station

Brescia is more than its historic centre. It also has newer districts where green space is part of the plan. This route starts from Parco Tarello, one of the city’s largest green lungs, and leads you eastwards, crossing the “new town” of San Polo and on to Sanpolino.

At first you walk among buildings, traffic and wide roads. Little by little, the landscape changes. You pass Porta Cremona, skim small parks and tree-lined avenues and then, once beyond Viale Duca degli Abruzzi, everything opens up: meadows, gardens, trees, fields.
This is the area of the San Polo Agricultural Park, where the city has decided to give space back to nature. You walk along an almost uninterrupted green spine, between modern residential areas and spaces designed for walking, breathing and living better.

It’s one of the longest routes, but also among the easiest to follow. And if you like the idea of creating a big loop, you can link it with Route 7 or 13, which pass through the same areas from different viewpoints.

Brescia Due: where the city dreams in vertical.
This district was developed in the 1970s as the city’s modern business core; here, architecture changes tempo and looks to the future. Among open spaces, clean lines and futuristic geometries, three main landmarks stand out:

- Crystal Palace – 110 metres of glass and ambition
- Torre Mercurio – elegant and rational
- Torre Kennedy – a historic 1970s high-rise, witness to the city’s first vertical visions

Futura Traditio, the illusion that reveals.
Amid the modern lines of Brescia Due, the anamorphic mural by Vera Bugatti and Fabio Fedele unveils a striking vision: past and future intertwined in a giant optical illusion – 320 m² – painted on a wall.

An urban lawn full of memory.
Parco Tarello is the green heart of Brescia Due, but also a place of civic remembrance.
Named after a visionary 16th-century agronomist from Brescia, it is crossed by a large open lawn, hedge-mazes and lines of trees.
Within it, the Giardino dei Giusti honours – with names and words – those who defended human dignity in the 20th century.
