Mazzano (Brescian: Mazà) is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, northern Italy.
The Municipality of Mazzano has a population of 12500 inhabitants and consists of three hamlets, Mazzano, Molinetto and Ciliverghe
The Municipality of Mazzano is twinned with the French town of Saint-Germain-des-Fossés, located in the Allier (Auvergne), ten kilometers from Vichy. The oath of brotherhood that sanctioned the formalization of the twinning was held in October 2002 in Saint-Germain-des-Fossés and on April 25, 2003 in Mazzano.[3]
Since 2010 the municipal administration, led by the mayor Maurizio Franzoni, has no longer considered continuing relations with the French citizen without confirming the municipal commission for twinning.
