The Historical Museum of Nastro Azzurro, the only one in Italy, collects relics, photographs, decorations, and documents of military valor from wars from all ages.

Founded in 1943 by the grand ufficial Luigi Ebranati, the Museum has been renovated following specific criteria and respecting the objectivity of history, so as to offer to visitors a valuable contribution to the study and documentation. The museum brings together the historical period running from 1793 to 1945.

By the harbour, the remains of a magnificent Roman villa of the II century AD were found.

It belonged to the noble Roman family of Nonii-Arii, from which came the Saints Faustino and Giovita, patron saints of Brescia. From this villa, which has beautiful mosaic floors, perhaps come the two columns of red marble that are now attached to the door of the parish. Following the destruction made by time or by men, part of the villa fall into the lake and gave rise to the legend of Benaco, rich town flooded by water.

Built in 1524 on the lakefront, the Palazzo della Magnifica Patria is connected to the Palazzo del Podesta through an arcade under which you can see plaques and badges.

At the moment, the palace is home the municipal offices and a Civic Archaeological Museum.In the board room you can admire the bust of Gasparo da Salo', by the sculptor Angelo Zanelli and, on the ceiling, the "Triumph of the Cross", a fresco by Andrea Bertanza; in the hall are also frescoes by Angelo Landi.

Thanks to the picturesque landscape and to the evidence that prove the production of paper, the Valle delle Cartiere, in Toscolano Maderno, is one of the most original and most interesting archaeological-industrial areas in Italy . The valley covered an important rule in the Venetian period from a manufatcuring point of view. It took its industrial appearance in the second part of the nineteenth century, when a new road was built and their technology upgraded. However, starting from the twentieth century, there is the progressive abandonment of the valley.The paper production moves to a new establishment and from the 1930 the paper firms reduce their activities and to stop for ever three decades later. The small building in Maina Inferiore has been identified as the most appropriate site for a "Museum of the Paper".

After the restoration it has been devided into different areas, which collect documents materials, photographs, artefacts and reconstructions that illustrate the cycle of manufacture, specimens and instruments of the watermark.
