Marone (Brescian: ) is a town and comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, Italy.
Physical geography
Territory
Marone is located on the eastern shore of Lake Iseo at about 200 m a.s.l. The territory is mainly mountainous.
Some archaeological findings found in the remains of a Roman villa in a locality called "Cò de Ela" could demonstrate the fact that the first settlements occurred in Roman times.
In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants settled in more defensible locations, far from the lake and streams, such as Pregasso, where in the 10th century there was a castle, which was later destroyed by a fire.
Marone became the administrative centre from the second half of the 16th century, when its development as an industrial center began.
