 Toscolano Maderno
|
Toscolano Maderno covers two major bands, with the largest centers on the lake and the villages in the hills. Toscolano and Maderno are two distinct centers: the first industrial-natured, the second aimed at tourism, have grown over time, divided only by a small bridge on the debris of the stream Toscolano. They were combined into a single municipality in 1928.
Toscolano, in particular, has Roman origins, evidenced by the remains of a large villa of which, today, one can see parts of the floor mosaic decorations. Where now stands the parish church of Maderno, there was once a castle with four towers, one of which serves as the bell tower of the parish. There are no documents that testify to the period of construction of the castle. In 1645 a fire completely destroyed the castle leaving a few skeletons of walls. These ruins remained so until the construction of the parish.
