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.

When you will arrive by car to Mantua I recommend you to enter from north, through St. George Bridge: only in this way you can be astonished by the wonderful sight of Art Buildings growing like big flowers from the waters od the lakes created by River Mincio embracing the town from three sides!

Interesting visit. Some spectacular displays from the average to the weird and wonderful. The giants room is impressive as is the grotto.

Just opposite the Basilica di Sant'Andrea is a lovely little chapel called “Rotonda di San Lorenzo”. The most ancient church in the city (11th century), inspired by the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem and dedicated to St Lawrence. Completely round with beautiful Byzantine frescoes. You can feel the history as soon as you walk in the door and also a great way to escape from the heat for a few minutes. A card (in various languages) is available at the entrance explaining several features. Very well worth a few minutes of your time.

We visited this basilica twice, and were fortunate the 2nd time to be given an extensive tour and oral history by one of the volunteer guides. As it was July 2020, there were very few people visiting.

At the top of the highest hill in Solferino lies a majestic building 23 meters high dating back to 1022. This hill was contended by the Austrians and the French Army that was allied with the Piedmontese Army during the battle of June 24th 1859. Defined as “The spy of Italy” due to its strategic location, this fortress is surrounded by a vast park. Relics discovered on the battle field are preserved inside this fortress, which was acquired and restored by the Association. Moreover, documents relating to the history of the Fortress and of the Mint of Gonzaga in Solferino are displayed inside and along the wooden stairs that lead to the panoramic terrace.Before getting to the terrace a large room opens up and here we can find portraits of Victor Emmanuel II and Napoleone III and for this reason it is named “The Sovereigns’ Room”. From the Fortress terrace you can enjoy the gorgeous panorama of the verdant countryside that lays beneath and admire, from a distance, the Tower of San Martin
