After the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Mary Magdalene" is the most frequently mentioned woman in the New Testament writings. Originally called "Mary of Magdala," after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee, over time the name "Mary Magdalene" became the one commonly used today. According to the biblical accounts, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus of Nazareth. Furthermore, according to the Gospels, Mary Magdalene is one of the three women who, after the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, wanted to anoint his body on Easter morning after the Sabbath rest, and she was the very first person to encounter the Risen Christ. ... “Let us allow this experience, imprinted on the Gospel, to also be imprinted on our hearts and shine through our lives. Let us allow the joyful wonder of Easter Sunday to radiate into our thoughts, glances, attitudes, gestures, and words… If only we were so radiant! But this is not mere window dressing! It comes from within, from a heart immersed in the source of this joy, like that of Mary Magdalene, who wept for the loss of her Lord and could not believe her eyes when she saw that he had risen. Whoever has this experience becomes a witness to the Resurrection (...)” (Pope Francis on Easter Monday 2014)

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.
