Despite its small size, the city of Brescia has much to offer to shopping enthusiasts. A number of famous fashion designers have been based here, and left a mark on the city. At many large squares, such as Corso Palestro, Corso Zanardelli and Piazza della Loggia, you will find the most famous brands in both clothing and jewellery. Other important shopping streets located in the city centre of Brescia are Via Gramsci, Corso Magenta, Via Mazzini, Via X Giornate.
