Trip To Brescia Italy. It stands to reason that is you are on this board you enjoy nice shotguns. Well if you and you significant other are looking for a nice place to visit I can recommend a trip to Brescia ( Val Trompia ) Italy. Naturally you have many of the most famous shotgun makers there which many you can visit. Some like the major ones speak good English, the other smaller ones do not. But aside from going to the gun makers and maybe buying one, the place itself is beautiful. There are of course beautiful churches, museum, the lake is close by and well the mountain region is great.Nothing like driving around the mountain region to see the wonderful sights. Venice is close by too.
I would suggest renting a car to get around and you are much more flexible. If you have never been to German or Italy driving can be intimidating. Keep the gas petal pushed completely to the floor and you will do fine.
The food is great, but of course Italian food is my favorite.
I will almost guarantee you will enjoy it.

PS: My first trip was in the 80s. AT that time there were over 100 companies that were making guns. Many just working out of their homes and a few guns a year. I think most are gone now at least some that I visited. Too bad
Fly into Milan. Rome too congested. I gave up driving in Rome.
