Flero
Welcome to Flero
Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about the municipality of Flero, a small town located in the province of Brescia in Lombardy.
A flat area with rivers and streams
Flero is characterized by a largely flat territory, which is wetted by the rivers Grande and Garza. In the hilly area of Mount Netto, we find the resurgence of the vase Orso.
A name derived from Carolingian toponymy
The name of Flero probably derives from Carolingian toponymy ''Freores'' and appears for the first time in a document of the 841 of the Diocese of Brescia Ramperto "que est in loco qui dicitur Freores".
A history rich in ancient settlements
The first traces of settlements date back to the Roman period, as evidenced by the funeral stone dedicated to the son of Lucio Cornelio Glicone. From 1927 to 1956, Flero was merged with Poncarale in the municipality of Poncarale Flero. In May 1979, Andrea Pirlo, a former midfielder, was born here.
The symbols of the municipality
The symbol of Flero is a blue flag with three golden corn cobs, leafed in two, placed in a pale, ordered in a band with the ends downwards; at the head of a solid green.

Until 1948, Flero was served by the Brescia-Ostiano tramway. Today, the municipality is connected to the city of Brescia by several bus lines.
