About the area

Mantua is the majesty of the Renaissance. Entering the city by crossing the lake makes you understand the importance of the position that has made it the capital since Etruscan times. But it also represents the entrance into a fabulous atmosphere, like a journey through time. In the walls of the Palazzo Ducale the Gonzaga family made the history of Europe: a place consecrated to the memory of Isabella D'Este, the lady who enchanted artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. Visiting it brings to life the splendor of an era, because every room is a wonder: the Bridal Chamber frescoed by Mantegna and the great challenge of knights painted by Pisanello are famous. The other jewel is Palazzo Te, wanted as a villa by the lords of the city, with the surprising Hall of the Giants created by Giulio Romano. All of Mantua is a maze of alleys and churches, squares and facades with a thousand suggestions: a fascinating centre, with restaurants and trattorias where you can taste delicious dishes such as pumpkin tortelli, riso alla pilota and sbrisolona cake. A few kilometers away is Sabbioneta, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy closed by an impressive hexagonal fortification. Each building is unique: the Teatro all'Antica from 1590 is considered the first modern building conceived for performances. Castiglion delle Stiviere stands in the middle of the Po Valley and is the place where the Red Cross was born, an event remembered by a museum, to treat the wounded in the Risorgimento battles. Many tiny villages are treasure chests of monuments, such as the Volta Mantovana hill or the Abbey of San Benedetto Po which dates back to the year one thousand. And for those who love cycling there are many routes immersed in the countryside, in a greenery designed by the course of rivers and many lakes.
