Why visit

Toscolano Maderno is the birthplace of Bartolomeo Bortolazzi, born on 3 March 1772, a virtuoso of both the guitar and the mandolin.

Origins and history

Toscolano and Maderno were separate communes until 1928. In 1310 Maderno became the capital of the Brescian riviera and housed its administrative bodies until 1377, when Beatrice della Scala moved the seat of the magistrature and the capital of the riviera to Salò. The industrial history of Toscolano and Maderno begins in 1300 at Camerate, where the first paper mill of the coast was built. The two villages stand on the western, Brescian shore of Lake Garda.
