Impressive city gate within the historic city walls

Small charming town where the Gonzaga family spent some time. There is a castle and a square surrounded by arcades. The interior of the church was also designed by the Gonzagas.

Pedaling through the streets of Sabbioneta is like pedaling in a Renaissance painting. It is no coincidence that this small and perfect Lombard city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. A jewel of Italian architectural history that is worth visiting.

This stretch of cycle path runs along the Oglio River. It is part of the long route called "Via delle risaie" that crosses the south of Lombardy.

Gazzuolo is an interesting town in the Mantua area. The architecture is typical of Gonzaga towns, with beautiful porticos that shelter from the sun and rain. It is known for the theater founded by the Ligurian playwright Giacometti, who moved here in the 19th century.

This characteristic village in the Mantua area is best known for the pontoon bridge that allows you to cross the Navarolo canal. Right next to the bridge is the imposing Torrazzo tower. A watchtower commissioned by Vespasiano Gonzaga.

Isola Dovarese is a gem set along the course of the Oglio River, a village that proudly preserves its historical soul. Walking along its streets means immersing yourself in a past made of Renaissance architecture and atmospheres of times gone by, where every stone tells of ancient glories and community life. The beating heart of the village is the splendid Piazza Matteotti, a large quadrangular space surrounded by porticoes, designed by the architects of the Vignola school. Here, every year, the Palio di Isola Dovarese brings the seventeenth century back to life: an event that transforms the village into a large open-air theater, among period costumes, flags in the wind and historical reenactments. But Isola Dovarese is also nature and slowness: the Oglio River embraces the village and invites contemplation, the discovery of paths that wind through woods and countryside. A place where history meets quiet and where every journey becomes an experience. (Anna)
