The La Montina estate was founded in Franciacorta in 1987 by three brothers, Vittorio, Gian Carlo and Alberto Bozza. My father Gian Carlo and two uncles Vittorio and Alberto come from the countryside and are imbued with its agricultural traditions. Their passion for the land and for wine making was born out of these traditions and has been a part of their lives since childhood. Why? Because their Father-my grandfather Fioravante Antonio (nicknamed Fiore) - had also worked in the vines and produced red wine. I remember his rough hands, stained red like every vineyard worker, the color pigments absorbed from hours of handling the berries.

Palazzo Martinengo da Barco, sede storica della Pinacoteca, accoglie le collezioni civiche bresciane, formatesi grazie al generoso lascito del conte Paolo Tosio (1844) e alle acquisizioni susseguitesi nel corso degli anni. Il percorso prende avvio dal XIV secolo e, passando per opere d'arte di assoluta fama quali l'Angelo e il Redentore di Raffaello e l'Adorazione dei pastori di Lorenzo Lotto, si si arriva all'importante nucleo della pittura bresciana del Rinascimento, con i dipinti di Vincenzo Foppa, Romanino, Savoldo e Moretto. Si manifesta qui una peculiare attenzione per la realtà, che arriva poi fino all'umanissima stagione dei "pitocchi" di Giacomo Ceruti. Concludono il racconto le grandi commissioni dei collezioni bresciani di età neoclassica e romantica, tra Angelica Kauffmann, Andrea Appiani, Francesco Hayez e Antonio Canova.
