Desenzano d/G - Historic hints (1501 words)
During the Longobard period Desenzano was part of a district which covered the southern shores of the lake and the Mantuan countryside.The Pieve was one of the first Christian churches in the area.
From 1426 Desenzano fell under the rule of Venice, the Magnifica Patria (magnificent country) and became an important cultural and commercial centre, especially thanks to its corn market; in 1449 public lessons were already held here, and an Academy was founded in the 16th century.
For that reason the inhabitants of Desenzano, obviously confident of the acceptance of the claim, commissioned the project for the Venetian authority’s residence to a local architect, Mr Todeschini, and began the construction work but it was stopped when the Venetian Senate rejected the claim.
