Rent a Mantova
Located in the heart of the Mincio Park, a vast and well-known area of natural interest rich in archaeological sites, Mantua, city of the Gonzaga family, presents itself from the moment of arrival with a striking calling card: the city’s silhouette, in fact, stands out, with a vibrant red brick profile, at the end of the two bridges that connect it to the mainland. The vision, especially in the winter months when Mantua is immersed in fog, has something mystical about it. Crossing its streets we are returned whole to all its atmosphere somewhere between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, amid arcades, cobblestones and elegant crenellated palaces. Among the best-known gems of the historic center is the Torre della Gabbia, a medieval building renovated in the 16th century that overlooks Piazza Sordello, where some of the city’s most beautiful buildings are condensed: the Ducal Palace, the Duomo and the Bishop’s Palace. The square is connected to Prato di Castello by a monumental entrance with a frescoed archway: from here there is access to the Castle of San Giorgio, another priority landmark for anyone visiting Mantua. In addition to being home to one of Italy’s most beloved cultural festivals, Festivaletteratura, Mantua is also a place of inspiration for lovers of food and good living: Mantua’s gastronomic specialties include pumpkin tortelli, capunsei and risotto with frogs; among desserts, sbrisolona and bignolata are particularly popular. On the wine side, there are many DOC labels to choose from to accompany the full-bodied dishes of Mantuan cuisine.
The city’s location at the crossroads of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna makes it an interesting cultural hybrid, with elements from different regional traditions, and an excellent starting point or home-base for discovering the beauty of the three regions. From Mantua you can easily reach the highway and the inland roads that allow you to travel to the most beautiful medieval villages in the surrounding area: some stops for a small on-the-road trip might be Sabbioneta, a small Renaissance jewel of Gonzaga imprint; Solferino, with its fortress and museum dedicated to the history of the Risorgimento; and Revere, where one of the most beautiful Gonzaga villas stands. If you love breathtaking natural spectacles, you can instead head for the Bosco Fontana nature reserve, while moving a little north you will encounter Lake Garda with all the lively towns that rise on its shores and the tourist attractions they offer, including the many famous amusement parks, to be visited with the whole family. In the Locauto park you can find a variety of cars that can meet the most diverse travel needs: comfortable and practical citycars for trips of just a few hours, more spacious sedans for trips with a few intimates, and then the large station wagons and SUVs for those who need lots of space and don’t want to give up taking everything, but everything!
