Chizzola taught rural economy. This academy was maybe the most ancient agricultural academy in the world. Some notable person visited and stayed in Rezzato during the 19th century: Napoleone and Garibaldi spent a night in Villa Fenaroli, while the Prime Minister Giuseppe Zanardelli used to come to Rezzato in summer to spend his holidays. On 15 June 1859, in Rezzato took place the notable "Battle of Treponti", one of the battles of the Second War of Independence, fought between Garibaldi and the Austrians. The municipal territory took on its current dimensions in 1928, with the addition of the village of Virle Treponti. Geography Topography Rezzato is located in the northern section of the Po Valley, immediately east of Brescia, at the foot of the Brescian Prealps. The territory consists of three large morphological macroregions: the flat bight between Monte Maddalena, the hills of Botticino and the Monte Regogna. The hilly system consists of the mountains Regogna, Fieno (the highest point of the town's territory at ) and Marguzzo, and two hills called Peladolo and Poggio San Martino. While the northern part of the territory is hilly, the southern area of the town is flat. The administrative comune covers a total area of . The hills of the entire area are made up by different types of stones. The first one to be considered is the "corna" consisting of calcium carbonate and magnesium, which would have formed almost 193 million years ago. This stone is present throughout the basin between Monte Regogna and Monte Marguzzo, including Poggio San Martino. Important studies carried out on Mount Regogna allowed to identify various fossilized forms of marine life and marine life. The age of the "corso" begins shortly after the corna one. This stone is in the lower part of Monte Regogna. Since they are very low parts, a time so submerged in the sea, fossil shells of ammonite and sea urchins have been found here. The "medolo", which rises on the west side of Monte Regogna, has a much newer formation (178 million years ago) and is a stone made up of limestone marbles. The medolo is characteristic of a deep marine environment and therefore even here rivers of fossil shells emerge. At just from the Garda Lake, it is crossed by the so-called Naviglio Grande Bresciano, an ancient canal built in 1253, from which departs a huge system of small canals now
