Based on a qualitative study conducted within the PRIN project Urban Governance of Religious Diversity (2024-2025), this paper examines the development of interreligious dialogue in Brescia, an industrial city that in recent decades has attracted a large and highly heterogeneous immigrant population. As a result, the local religious landscape is markedly plural and includes a significant Muslim presence (of Pakistani, North African, Senegalese, and Middle Eastern origin), a substantial Sikh community, a Hindu community, two Orthodox Christian Churches, several Catholic communities of African, South American, and Asian origin, and a number of Protestant Churches. The strong local tradition of social Catholicism has created favorable conditions for forward- looking and effective integration policies toward immigrant communities, contributing to the protection and promotion of freedom of religion. Against this backdrop, various forms of interreligious dialogue have emerged, involving both public institutions and civil society actors, individually and collectively. The paper analyses the mutual positionings of the actors involved and their effects, focusing on the role of the Catholic Church in its relations with other religions. Both the majority religion and minority religious communities are developing new attitudes aimed at fostering more egalitarian relationships, thus reshaping the social meaning of freedom of religion. This process is facilitated by the neutral - though not indifferent - stance adopted by the municipal administration and public security institutions. However, the protagonists of the various interreligious platforms and initiatives raise the issue of the poor participation of the people of their respective religious communities.
