Hy can yo tell me some sights about Brescia?

Italian Wikipedia should help. Google has often solution --Fredericks (msg) 15:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

It's Brescia. Bressa doesn't exist!


Hello, I noticed that Bressa has been moved back to Brescia. You can find 'Bressa' in the Oxford dictionary, and, as far as I know, it's a widespreadly accepted English name (maybe only UK?). Thus I think we shouldn't use a stranger name. Surprisingly enough, I found only this evidence in the web:

So I am afraid I have to insist upon Bressa. No rush, however; we could try a mediation as well. Summing up: it does exist (but, isn't it an odd category?) Sincerely yours, --Lombard06 14:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

The link you brought as evidence is not related to Brescia but to Bressa di Campoformido, 7.5 km from Udine, in the administrative region called Friuli (North east of Italy).

[edit] bressa

firtst of all bressa is the name in local language of Brescia: In fact there are other municipality with name like BRESSAnone or so on.Then when you're reading about other versions about writing rightly the name,like Bresa. you should know that there are different way about pronounciating the "s": some people speak it very hard (like a zed) , other more softly....if they say it hard, they prefer to write a double s, otherwise they write only an s. Other argument: the history of brixia :) under austrian control: when you speak about 1984 revolution and the 10 days, you're speaking twice of the same thing...
