Of these, 121 are located in the province of Brescia, including 35 businesses supported by Confesercenti of Eastern Lombardy in their application process. This recognition is reserved for shops and venues that have maintained their signage and merchandise type for decades, contributing to the preservation of local cultural heritage. With these new designations, the total number of historical activities in the province reaches 687, highlighting the resilience of Brescia’s businesses.
In the context of Lake Garda, several notable establishments have been honored, such as Pizzeria Carmelo in Desenzano and Ristorante Capriccio in Manerba.
