1. Museo della Seconda Guerra Mondiale del Fiume Po
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 57 reviews
The PO RIVER WWII MUSEUM is a centre devoted to the memory of the war events that took place in the areas along the great river during the Second World War. The museum collection includes moving images, photographs, documents, and historical objects from the period between the Allies' first aerial sortees in 1944 over the area and the victorious crossing of the Po river in April 1945. The geographical position of Felonica (Mantova) is crucial, in this context, in order to understand the unfolding of those events: because its position was central to the crossing paths of the retreating German troops and because it represented the Army boundary of the 5th US Army and the 8th British Army.

This venue started out in the 18th century as a forum for scientific discussions and meetings as well as a place for entertainment, but soon became a dedicated theatre. The interior is magnificent, with its soaring tiers of boxes surrounding a small stalls area. One of the first performances here in 1770 was a concert by Mozart, who was just thirteen at the time. It’s a small theatre, with a current maximum audience of only 363.

6. Abbazia di Polirone
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 215 reviews
A pochi chilometri da Mantova si trova San Benedetto Po, nominato uno dei Borghi più belli d’Italia. La sua storia è indissolubilmente legata a quella della maestosa Abbazia di Polirone, fondata nel 1007 da Tedaldo di Canossa, nonno della più famosa Matilde, sull’isola che sorgeva tra il fiume Po e il Lirone, un ramo del grande fiume oggi scomparso. Affacciato su una delle piazze più grandi d’Italia, luogo prediletto e cuore della vita religiosa del lungo regno della contessa Matilde di Canossa, il complesso monastico rappresenta oggi uno dei centri culturali, storici ed artistici più importanti del territorio mantovano e della regione Lombardia. Per l’impegno religioso, politico e culturale, il complesso Polironiano ha occupato un ruolo fondamentale nella storia del monachesimo italiano fino alla sua soppressione, avvenuta nel 1797, ad opera di Napoleone Bonaparte. Oltre mille anni di storia sono sedimentati nelle strutture e nei numerosi e suggestivi ambienti del complesso.

We participated in an event at the end of summer that was about history learning through recreation of the battles! We admired the highly creative organization, the costumes and scenery, and the sheer enthusiasm of the event-planners. It's absolutely worth visiting and following step by step the dramatic events for a night that is beyond cinema experience- more like traveling through time! Thank you!
