The town of Mantua is surrounded by four lakes - Lake Superiore, Lake Mezzo, Lake Inferiore and Lake Paiolo - built in the 12th century to defend the city and fed by the Mincio River. This makes the city almost like an island.

The geological and palaeoenvironmental data indicate that during the early Bronze Age (ca. 1800 BC), a lake of natural origin developed along the Mincio river (downstream of the current city of Mantua). However, the current structure of the lakes of Mantua was created in 1190 by the engineer from Bergamo, Alberto Pitentino.
