Skewered cuts of pork, beef, rabbit, and chicken roasted with sage and potatoes define the local spiedo, a traditional dish deeply tied to the renowned Franciacorta wines produced in this area. Gastronomy is a cornerstone of daily life in Gussago, a Lombard municipality of roughly 16,400 residents in the province of Brescia.
The physical focal point of the town is the Santissima, an old cloister resting squarely on the summit of Barbisone Hill. Dedicated to St. Mary, the community maintains a distinct agricultural heritage, serving as an ideal stopover for sampling the region's cured meats and prestigious vineyards.
