Mi chiamo Cadria e abito in Italia. Sto svolgendo una ricerca sull'emigrazione di [[Magasa]] verso gli USA alla fine del 1800 nelle città di [[Truckee]] California, [[Sutter Creek]] California e [[Wappingers Falls]] New York. Non parlo l'inglese. Chi vuole fornirmi informazioni può contattarmi qui o sulla mia pagina di discussione di Wikipedia in italiano. Grazie. --[[User:Cadria|Cadria]] ([[User talk:Cadria|talk]]) 21:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

''This article is about a town in Italy; for the ancient Cretan settlement, see [[Magasa, Crete]].''

'''Magasa''' is a town and [[comune]] in the [[province of Brescia]], in [[Lombardy]] in northern [[Italy]].

==Historical and cultural profile==
In position on the plateau of Denai, in the Valley of Vestino, inland of [[Lake of Garda]], rises the small village of Magasa, whose origins go back to the [[Celtics]]; they called the place ''mag'', the field. The [[Stoni]] and the [[Gallic]] [[Cenomani]], then the Romans and the Lombards lived here. The Lodrone family establisched in Magasa from [[1200]] to [[1807]]; then, for centuries, this has been nobody's land. Become Italian in [[1915]], Magasa was separated the [[province of Trento]] in [[1934]], and become a hamlet of Turano.

The ancient administrative autonomy of [[1589]], was achieved again in [[1947]]. The abundance of pastures has always been significant for the village economy, dedicated to cattle raising that survives, still today, in summer mountain barns, with production of milk, from which famous cheeses and butter are obtained, The historical core is a crossing of small passages with peasants' high and narrow houses; the church is dedicated to Sant'Antonio Abate, mid XVIII century<ref>''Magasa'', Province of Brescia, DeAdostini, Novara, 2009.</ref>.

Inside, the religious building is characterized by the floor in red and yellow stones from the Denervo mountain. The pleasant hamlet of Cadria is surrounded by a magic natural atmosphere; the people are proud of their small church of San Lorenzo. The church, of allegedly of [[Lombards]] origins, was restored in [[1547]] and is the pilgrimage arrival on occasion of the patron's day, 10 august. An ancient ritual is renewed, instituted by testament in [[1588]], with the distribution to every participant to the religious celebration of one piece of bread and fifth of wine.

Today, the village of Magasa is the owner of the church and it is morally engaged to comply with the original benefactor's desire to renew the tradition. The bright sky of Cima Rest, free from any pollution, has allowed the association Astrofili di [[Salò]] to arrange an Astronomical public observatory.

==The haylofts of Cima Rest==
The straw-roofed haylofts of plateau Denai and Cima Rest are mentioned for the first time in a document dated [[1613]]. Some historians have established a link between their constructive type and some low Middle Age constructions; other say that [[Lombards]] from Hungrary built them in [[600]] a. D.

Their unique architecture is a true masterpiece of efficiency and economy. The steep roof in wheat straw is water-proof. In order not to lose the memory of the places and local culture, one of the haylofts of Cima Rest has become the Ethnographic Museum of the [[Valvestino]].
