Borghetto sul Mincio is a municipality in the province of Verona which stands on a river ford. In medieval times it was used as a toll booth. Thanks to the Viscontis (dukes of Milan) the village acquired importance and a defensive wall was built around the town. The Duke of Milan, in a dispute with the Gonzagas in Mantua, decided to build a dam to divert the Mincio river and ultimately drain the lakes around Mantua. The project failed and a wooden bridge over the Mincio was built instead.
