PORTA VENETA DEL BROLETTO
Restored with funding from Industrie Polieco – MPB srl
One of Brescia’s high profile architectural enterprises and seat of its principal
civic institutions, the inner-city gateway known as “Porta Veneta” is at the heart of
the city’s administrators’ attention for its importance within the restructuring of the
entire Broletto area

The monumental gate, erected in 1609 under the Venetian podestà Giovanni da Lezze,
is made up of ashlar-worked semi-columns surmounted by a trabeation, framing a triumphal
arch with a keystone carved in high relief.
Despite the gate’s significant architectural value, prior to the conservation project it
appeared to visitors of the Broletto and the numerous people passing through it in a very
bad condition. Notwithstanding the monument’s considerable size and its equally visible
precious ornaments, a black patina covering the various forms and indeed the entire structure
made it almost impossible to grasp the finesse of execution and stylistic features of the
craftsmanship.
Today, thanks to the financial commitment of Industrie Polieco-M.P.B., the company based
in Cazzago San Martino and chaired by Luigi Tonelli, at its third venture in the context
of the “Revaluing Brescia” project, and to the patient work of the engineers directed
by Prof. Luciano Formica from Milan, it is once again possible to contemplate the gate
in all its beauty and splendour. The restoration works took three months and twelve days.
