San Sebastiano is an early Renaissance church in Mantua, northern Italy. Designed by Leon Battista Alberti, it was partially completed in 1460 and finished in the mid-1470s. Apart from the plan, considered one of the earliest and most important examples of centrally planned Renaissance churches, little of Alberti's work survives. The plan is in the form of a Greek cross, with three identical arms centering the apse, beneath a central cross-vaulted space without internal partitions. The church sits atop a low-lying crypt, which was intended to serve as a mausoleum for the Gonzaga family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Sebastiano,_Mantua

Historic center of Mantua

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.

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.

Originally this was the gateway to the city. Today it leads to a small park that borders the ancient walls of the village.
