Discovering the city is a game, a treasure hunt through the squares and buildings starting from the Roman Brixia witnessed by the stones of the Forum, to the Capitoline Temple and magnificent Domus leading to the refined Longobard era evidenced by the San Salvatore and Santa Giulia com- plex, which houses the “City Museum”. The Winged Victory, the Desiderio Cross and the Nuns choir await the partici- pant like valued prizes. The old Duomo and Broletto are wit- nesses to the proud era of the “Comuni”. Renaissance treasures are the gal- lery and the Santa Maria dei Miraco- li church. Foppa, Savoldo, Romanino, Moretto and Gambara, the prestigious representatives of the “Brescia Paint- ing School” embellish the most beauti- ful churches and are on show in the city art gallery. Elegant boutiques selling the most prestigious national and internation- al designer labels, new venues and old trattorias are at the centre of the busy Brescia scene. Brescia is a modern and vital artistic city. 5 Città di musei Il Museo della città di Brescia ha sede nel monastero ria in Solario, il coro delle monache, la chiesa di Santa benedettino femminile di San Salvatore e Santa Giulia, Giulia e i chiostri di età rinascimentale testimoniano fondato nel 753 dal duca Desiderio e dalla moglie Ansa. ancora oggi, insieme alla Croce gemmata di Deside- In età romana l’area del monastero era occupata da rio lo splendore del monastero negli oltre mille an- un esteso quartiere, con abitazioni decorate da mo- ni di vita.

A high-resolution gridded dataset of daily mean temperature and precipitation series spanning the pe- riod 1980–2018 was built for Trentino-South Tyrol, a mountainous region in north-eastern Italy, starting from an archive of observation series from more than 200 meteorological stations and covering the regional domain and surrounding countries. The original station data underwent a processing chain including quality and consistency checks, homogeneity tests, with the homogenization of the most relevant breaks in the series, and a filling proce- dure of daily gaps aiming at maximizing the data availability. Using the processed database, an anomaly-based interpolation scheme was applied to project the daily station observations of mean temperature and precipitation onto a regular grid of 250 m × 250 m resolution. The accuracy of the resulting dataset was evaluated by leave- one-out station cross-validation. Averaged over all sites, interpolated daily temperature and precipitation show no bias, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of about 1.5 ◦C and 1.1 mm and a mean correlation of 0.97 and 0.91, respectively.

In these regions, there are groups of French-Italians, German-Italians and Slovene-Italians. In the lower eastern part of the Alps are the beautiful Dolomite Mountains. The Dolomites are very different in shape and colour from the rest of the Alps. In the foothills at the bottom of the mountains there are many beautiful lakes. These include the five largest lakes: Garda, Maggiore, Como (one of the deepest lakes in Europe at 400 metres), Iseo and Lugano. Around these lakes are olive groves15 and lemon and orange groves.

  • Buch Gredl.5
    Gredleriana Vol. 5 / 2005 pp. 39 - 44 Lichenological studies in Northern Italy: new records for Trentino - Alto Adige Juri Nascimbene Abstract: A total of 19 infrageneric taxa of lichens are reported as new to Trentino -Alto Adige, the lichenolo- gically best -known Italian region. Five taxa are new to Italy, one is new to the Alps. The regional lichen flora consists now of 1327 species (56,4 % of the flora of Italy), with an increase of 2 %. Key words: Alps, lichens, flora, Trentino, Alto Adige, Italy 1. Introduction Trentino -Alto Adige, with 1301 infrageneric taxa (NIMIS 2003, NIMIS & MARTELLOS 2003) is the lichenologically best-known Italian region. Its great lichenological interest is related to the variety of substrates and climates, and to the rugged morphology (NIMIS 1993). The most important work on the lichens of Trentino -Alto Adige was carried out by F. Arnold (1828 -1901) in the last years of the 19th century. He surveyed South Tyrol, and published the results in the famous series Lichenologische Ausflüge in Tyrol (1868 -1897). Another important contribution was done by E. Kernstock with the publication of his Lichenologische Beiträge (1890 -1896). The lichen records from this region until 1901 were summarized by DALLA TORRE & SARNTHEIN (1902). In the first half of the 20th century, P. Bolzon and M. Cengia Sambo published several papers on lichen floristic in this area (NIMIS 1993). Several interesting records were published by German-speaking authors (NIMIS 1993), like the important contribution by BUSCHARDT (1979) on the lichens of the inner alpine valleys (Province of Bolzano). Recent papers on the floristic of lichens in the South-Eastern and Central Alps (NASCIM- BENE & CANIGLIA 2000, NASCIMBENE, 2002, 2003, 2004, NASCIMBENE et al.
