Adro (Brescian: Àder) is a town and comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, with a traditional wine-growing vocation favored by its position in the Franciacorta area (northern Italy)
Physical geography
The municipality of Adro is located at the foot of Monte Alto, in Franciacorta about six kilometers from Lago d'Iseo, in the southwestern part of province of Brescia. [3]
Origins of the name
From what is reported by Mazza (1986), the origins of the toponym are uncertain: Dante Olivieri claims that it would come from Latin ater or atro (or black , fosco , oscuro ), while Paolo Guerrini suggested the derivation from acer , demonstrating the ancient presence of maple woods. In a document of 822 it is called Atro [4].
History
The oldest evidence of anthropization in the municipality of Adro are Neolithic finds found in the hamlet of Torbiato. The finds of tombs with grave goods from the late imperial period (III century) and Longobard date back to a later period. [4]
The oldest news of the village of Adro is present in the document in which it is mentioned as Atro , dated 10 April 822. In it, the Abbess Eremperga gave a vico con corte to a certain Rampergo. [4]
The castle was built between XIII and XIV century: in acts of 1006 and 1050 Adro is named as' 'vicus and not as' 'castrum'. Both under the domination of the Visconti and under that of Venice, Adro administratively belonged to the quadra of Palazzolo. [5]
During the Venetian domination of the territory (from 1426 to 1797) the Bargnani family gained importance in the village, important in the life of the town between the 17th and 18th centuries, to whom the Dandolo counts succeeded. [3]
Coat of arms
The town's coat of arms is formed by a capital "A" with a rounded top, of silver color on a green field, which is surrounded by three bunches of grapes with its branches and tendrils. Of these clusters, two are at the top, while the other is at the larger tip; the vine is golden, loading the bunch. [3] [6] The oldest form of this coat of arms appears in the frescoes sixteenth century of the ancient parish church.
