Mantua, is a beautiful historic city situated in the south of Lombardy, it is located in particularly beautiful Po Valley. In fact it is surrounded by rivers and streams that make it look like an island. Aldous Huxley described Mantua as the most romantic city in the world, and indeed the city offers to the visitor a unique romantic atmosphere with its interlinking squares, arcades and medieval monuments, and meandering river, the Mincio, with its moodily romantic lakes. This beautiful city was one of the greatest Renaissance Courts in Europe and home of the wealthy Gonzaga family, who rose from peasant origins to conquer the city in 1328 and ruled benevolently until 1707. The Gonzaga protected art and culture and hosted several important artists like Leone Battista Alberti, Andrea Mantegna, Giulio Romano, Donatello, Luca Fancelli and Nicolo Sebregondi. Though many of the masterworks have been dispersed, the cultural value of Mantua is nonetheless outstanding.
