La Golena di Brescello

L'area golenale di Brescello è attraversata dal corso del fiume Enza, che, nell'ultimo tratto prima della foce in Po, scorre quasi parallelo ad esso. Le sue ripide sponde sabbiose offrono rifugio ad alcune specie di uccelli quali il Martin pescatore ed il Gruccione. Sulle sue rive crescono salici e pioppi che formano intricate boscaglie.

La componente predominante del paesaggio golenale è rappresentata da vaste aree coltivate a pioppeto.

Le due cave, ora dismesse ed allagate, di Ghiarole e di Foce Enza, ospitano uccelli acquatici, tra cui Svasso maggiore, Cormorano e Germano reale.

Brescello Monastero San Benedetto

Monastery of San Benedetto


Following a legacy by the Duchess Eleonora d'Este, in the second half of the 15th century, the Benedictine nuns became owners of the Monastery, until the advent of the Cisalpine Republic. Then, in 1758, the religious order was suppressed. As early as 1553, the Monastery was home to a school for convent girls. Later, in 1798, the Monastery was suppressed. In 1873, the Municipality of Brescello became owner of the building and transformed it into a military barrack. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building wing overlooking “Via Primo Maggio” was used as an elementary school, whereas most of the building was residential or the seat of small workshops. In 1933, the south and west wings were demolished, while the main body of the building housed the “Casa del Fascio”, and served as a location for meetings and orchestra rehearsals.
