    governolo was the fortified gate of Mantua by the Gonzaga family. Located in a strategic point between the Po and the Mincio, here, the navigation of the two rivers was controlled. It is also mentioned by Dante in the XX canto of the Inferno:

    "Sits Peschiera, beautiful and strong tool
    to face Bresciani and Bergamaschi,
    where the shore around it descends more.


    There it is better that everything falls apart
    what cannot be in Benaco's lap,
    and flow down through green pastures.
