Brescia-Montichiari Airport: a brief introduction

Hello friends, today I want to talk to you about Brescia-Montichiari Airport, named after Gabriele D'Annunzio. It is an Italian airport located in Montichiari, serving the city of Brescia.

Historical notes on the airport

The airport has its origins in the "First International Air Circuit" in Brescia, which was the first Italian aviation event held from September 8 to 20, 1909. During this event, the Montichiari marsh area in the Fascia d'Oro locality was fenced and prepared as an aerodrome with hangars, workshops and stands for the event. Over the years, the airport has gone through various phases, including its use as a base for airships during World War I, and the construction of a large military airport system during the Nazi era.
