Mantua Art City
()
About this ebook
Mantova (Mantua), the capital of Matilde di Canossa and the Gonzaga family, is an enchanted island surrounded by three lakes formed by the Mincio. The impressive scenography of the Gonzaga period, the marvelous frescoes of the Mantegna family, the fabulous inventions of Giulio Romano in the Tea Palace, the churches, and the patrician houses narrate the history.
A few kilometers from Mantova, we can admire the beautiful Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine alle Grazie, the Benedictine Abbey of Polirone in San Benedetto Po, the small village parishes, and the old courts. Mirage in the fertile countryside is Sabbioneta, the "small Athens" of Vespasiano Gonzaga.
Mantova history
According to legend, the town was founded by the soothsayer Manto when he fled from Thebes; Mantua enters history with the Etruscans. It goes from Roman rule to the barbarian invasions until around 1000 A.D. it becomes part of the feudal dominions of the Canossa.
It became a free commune in the XII and XIII centuries, continuing to grow while the unhealthy marsh surrounding it was drained and reclaimed. In 1237 Pinamonte Bonacolsi came to power and consolidated its economic prosperity until 1328 when control passed to Luigi Gonzaga, the founder of the dynasty to which Mantua owes most of its artistic beauty. In fact, under Gonzaga's rule, Mantua became notably more critical politically, enjoyed economic prosperity, and is acknowledged as a primary center of culture and Renaissance art. The family residence soon becomes one of Europe's largest and most magnificent palaces.
The present is a guide to the art city of Mantua for a visit lasting one or more days.
Sabbioneta and Castellaro Lagusello complete the visit outside the city center.
The guide includes a description of the Flora and Fauna of Mantua Lakes.
There are extensive descriptions and photos of the attractions: museums, churches, and piazzas.
There are descriptions of how to get to Mantua by train, driving, or flying the city.
The guide is divided into sections covering short visits to the "must see" attractions and an itinerary for a multi-day complete stop to all the attractions available.
