the "castle of Mantua" is an ancient residence located near the so-called Bosc de
Mantua, in official sources the Bosco della Mantua. The ancient toponym, already mentioned in documents from 1237, appears in various lexical forms (think of Mantua, Mantoa, Mantova) and over the history of the term, has given rise to various street names in the area, such as Via Vecchia di Mantova , the ancient road that led to the forest and which continued up to the administrative borders of the Municipality reaching S. Andrea di Pasiano.

As regards the linguistic derivation, the name immediately recalls the Lombard city of the same name: in reality, the popular legend linked to the name narrates that a rural building in this area, due to being massive and surmounted by a tower-shaped pigeon loft, was called
the castle of Mantua. This was the residence of the "counts of Mantua", who gave the area its name from their place of Lombard origin.
The territory of Mantua was once covered with dense natural forests and wild brambles and in recent decades, thanks to important archaeological excavations, it has emerged that one of the most developed civilizations in the world lived here in the primitive age before the arrival of the Romans. Friulian prehistory.

The meaning of the name Mantua, therefore, could date back to the primitive age and recall the Mediterranean echo word Manta which is the basis of the words cloak, robe, blanket. Hence, perhaps, the name
Mantua, attributed to the area, could be linked to the nature of the territory, a true wooded cover of varied and dense vegetation
