Tremosine (Lombardy)

Tremosine is a town in the Italian province of Brescia, in Lombardy. It is divided into 18 'frazioni'. Set in the Alto Garda Park, in a varied natural environment, the small hamlets rise among valleys, on hillocks and plateaus covered with olive trees, meadows, pine trees. It is pleasant to walk along the narrow streets of the upper and older part, with the eighteenth-century parish church with its beautiful bell tower, which is what remains of the Romanesque parish church demolished around 1570. The church preserves wooden works by Luchini and an altarpiece by Francesco Barbieri (1687). Worth seeing is the “triduo machine”, a rich eighteenth-century painted wood scenery that brings 365 candles and for three days a year, at the beginning of Lent, is mounted on the high altar.
