Mantua is a city surrounded by 3 artificial lakes in the northern Italian region of Lombardy. It's known for the architectural legacy of the Renaissance Gonzaga rulers, who built the Ducal Palace. This imposing building houses the Bridal Chamber, decorated with Andrea Mantegna frescoes. The Gonzagas also built the Te Palace, known for the Chamber of the Giants, where every surface is painted with mythological scenes.
Mantova - or Mantua in Emilian dialect - in Lombardy is famous for its artistic and cultural heritage and, under the rule of the Gonzaga family, had one of the most important courts of the Renaissance. In 2008 the city of Mantova became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2005 the Italian environmental organisation Legambiente named it Italy's most liveable city for quality of life. Surrounded by three artificial lakes created in the twelfth century, Mantova is a city still full of Renaissance splendour where visitors can also enjoy the tranquility of the lakes or a walk or cycle ride along the banks of the River Mincio.
The Gonzaga Renaissance Tapestries is at three locations: the Palazzo Te, the Museo Diocesano Francesco Gonzaga and the Museo di Palazzo Ducale and brings together 34 tapestries collected by the three sons of Francesco 11 Gonzaga [1466-1519] and Isabella D’Este [1474-1539]. During the time of Federico II Gonzaga, the first Duke, his brothers Ercole, a cardinal and Ferrante, an army commander and later Governor of Milan, the ownership of tapestries was becoming a symbol of wealth and power. The brothers collected hundreds of tapestries from Flanders or that were worked by Flemish weavers in Italy. Often the tapestries were copied from paintings of the time.
After the brothers’ deaths many of the tapestries were destroyed, dispersed or acquired by other noble Italian families and only 52 have come down to us today. Art historian Guy Demarcel has studied all these works and is the curator of the Mantua exhibition. Some of the tapestries are on loan from other European museums. 18 of the tapestries are on permanent exhibition at the Palazzo Te.
Visit the Cathedral, most of which was built between 1395 -1401 but the Baroque façade dates from the eighteenth century. Admire the Piazza Sordello while you’re there. Visit the Rotonda di San Lorenzo, the city’s oldest church, built in the late eleventh century. After all that culture, you’ll some sustenance, so why not head for one of the cafés in the Piazza delle Erbe and order luccio in salsa [pike in green sauce] or tortellini with zucca
Want to get away from it all? Take a boat tour on the Lago di Mezzo or the Lago Inferiore. In this photo: view of Mantova from the Lago di Mezzo - by Pietro Liberati. Or hire a bike and ride along the Mantova Lake Trail or, if you’re feeling adventurous, take the Mantova to Peschiera Bike Path.

Places to see in ( Mantova - Italy ) Museo di Palazzo Ducale
The Palazzo Ducale di Mantova is a group of buildings in Mantua, Lombardy, northern Italy, built between the 14th and the 17th century mainly by the noble family of Gonzaga as their royal residence in the capital of their Duchy. The buildings are connected by corridors and galleries and are enriched by inner courts and wide gardens. The complex includes some 500 rooms and occupies an area of c. 34,000 m². Although most famous for Mantegna's frescos in the Camera degli Sposi (Wedding Room), they have many other very significant architectural and painted elements.
The Gonzaga family lived in the palace from 1328 to 1707, when the dynasty died out. Subsequently, the buildings saw a sharp decline, which was halted in the 20th century with a continuing process of restoration and the designation of the area as museum. In 1998, a hidden room was discovered by Palace scholars, led by musicologist Paula Bezzutti. The room is thought to have been used for performances of Monteverdi's music in the late 16th century.
The entrance of the palace is from Piazza Sordello, onto which the most ancient buildings, the Palazzo del Capitano and the Magna Domus, open. They formed the original nucleus of the so-called Corte Vecchia. The Palazzo del Capitano (Captain's Palace) was built in the late 13th century by the Captain of the People Guido Buonacolsi (whose family ruled Mantua from 1271 to 1328). Initially built on two floors and separated from the Magna Domus (Latin: Big House) by an alley, in the early 14th century it received a further floor and was united to the Magna Domus by a large façade with a portico. The additional floor consists of a huge hall (67x15 m), known as Hall of the Weapon Room of Hall of Diet, as it housed the Diet of Mantua in 1459.
The monumental Scalone delle Duchesse (Duchesses' Staircase), built in the 17th century and renovated in 1779 by Paolo Pozzo, leads to the Room of the Morone, named after the 1494 canvas of the Veronese painter Domenico Morone, portraying the Expulsion of the Bonacolsi in 1328. In the noble floor of the Captain's Palace is the First Room of Guastalla, with a fresco frieze with portraits of the Gonzaga family, which once extended to the successive room, the Room of Pisanello, from the artist who, from 1433, painted a series of frescoes depicting a Tournament and other scenes, which were left unfinished. His commissioner, Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, is portrayed in the paintings. The frescoes were rediscovered and restored in the 1960s and 1970s.
In 1519 Isabella d'Este moved her residence from the Castle of St. George to this older sector of the Gonzaga palace, in the so-called Widow Apartment. Isabella's apartment included two wings now divided by the entrance to the Cortile d'Onore (Honour Court). The Grotto Wing housed the wooden furnitures and the paintings from her famous studiolo, commissioned from 1496 to 1505 to Mantegna (Parnassus and Triumph of the Virtues), Lorenzo Costa the Elder (Isabella d'Este in the Realm of Harmony and the Realm of Komos) and Perugino (Combat of Love and Chastity), as well as new ones by Correggio (Allegory of Vice and Allegory of Virtue).
The church of Santa Barbara, which had the role of Palace chapel (Basilica Palatina) for the Gonzagas, was built in 1562-1572 by Giovanni Battista Bertani, commissioned by Duke Guglielmo. It allowed for religious ceremonies, with some degree of independence from the papal hierarchy. It was outfitted with an Antegnati organ (1565) by one of the premier builders of Northern Italy. The organ was restored in 1995. The church has a central plan, with a square tiburium in the middle, followed by a raised semicircular presbytery covered by another tiburium, similar to the other one, and ending into a scenographic apse decorated with coffers. Under the presbytery is the crypt with an oval memorial. The bell tower has a square plan, and is topped by a small temple. Recently the remains of four dukes and other members of the Gonzaga family, including those of Guglielmo, were discovered in the church.

MANTOVA - PALAZZO DUCALE Reggia dei Gonzaga - Full HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI™◊
Il Palazzo Ducale di Mantova, noto anche come reggia dei Gonzaga, è uno dei principali edifici storici cittadini.
Dal 1308 è stata la residenza ufficiale dei signori di Mantova, i Bonacolsi, e quindi la residenza principale dei Gonzaga, signori, marchesi ed infine duchi della città virgiliana.
Ospitava il Gonzaga dominante del tempo, sua moglie, il figlio legittimo primogenito e gli altri figli legittimi sino alla maggiore età nonché gli ospiti importanti
Assunse la denominazione di Palazzo Reale durante la dominazione austriaca a partire dall'epoca di Maria Teresa d'Austria regnante.
Ambienti distinti e separati tra loro furono costruiti in epoche diverse a partire dal XIII secolo, inizialmente per opera della famiglia Bonacolsi successivamente su impulso dei Gonzaga. Fu il duca Guglielmo ad incaricare il prefetto delle Fabbriche Giovan Battista Bertani perché collegasse i vari edifici in forma organica così da creare, a partire dal 1556, un unico grandioso complesso monumentale e architettonico, uno dei più vasti d'Europa (34.000 m² circa ), che si estendeva tra la riva del lago Inferiore e Piazza Sordello, l'antica Piazza di San Pietro. Morto Bertani nel 1576, l'opera fu proseguita da Bernardino Facciotto che completò l'integrazione di giardini, piazze, loggiati, gallerie, esedre e cortili, fissando definitivamente l'aspetto della residenza ducale.
Nei quattro secoli di dominazione gonzaghesca la reggia si espanse gradualmente, sia con aggiunta di nuove costruzioni, sia modificando quelle esistenti . Si formarono diversi nuclei che presero il nome di:
Corte Vecchia, comprendente gli edifici più antichi verso piazza Sordello
Domus Nova, edificata da Luca Fancelli
Corte Nuova, di fronte al lago, costruita da Giulio Romano e successivamente ampliata dal Bertani e dal Viani
Basilica palatina di Santa Barbara, costruita dal Bertani.
Del complesso facevano parte anche alcuni edifici e cortili demoliti, tra i quali la Palazzina della Paleologa e il Teatro di corte.
L'interno del palazzo è quasi spoglio poiché, in seguito a ristrettezze finanziarie i Gonzaga, iniziando dal duca Ferdinando, alienarono opere d'arte (soprattutto a Carlo I d'Inghilterra) e arredi, mentre di quanto rimase, una parte fu successivamente sottratta in epoca napoleonica.
I terremoti dell'Emilia del 2012 hanno provocato inizialmente danni ad alcune sale del palazzo gonzaghesco (Sala di Manto, Galleria dei Mesi, Corridoio del Bertani). Il palazzo, chiuso dal 20 maggio 2012 , è stato successivamente riaperto alla visite turistiche solo parzialmente, dovendosi procedere a importanti opere di ripristino in Corte Nuova, l'ala del palazzo maggiormente danneggiata dalle scosse telluriche. Ben più gravi sono risultati i danni causati dalle scosse del 29 maggio che oltre a peggiorare le lesioni risalenti alla scossa del 20, hanno colpito il campanile della Basilica palatina di Santa Barbara e il Castello di San Giorgio

Gian Francesco Gonzaga and the military tradition of the Mantuan Marquisate
Gian Francesco Gonzaga (1395-1444) was among the first Italian Signori to make a living as a condottiero. Given the peculiar strategic significance of Mantua, the Gonzaga family thus began their tradition as armed professionals in the bold political gaming aimed to preserve and possibly expand their dominions between the two main North-Italian powers of Venice and Milan.
In the background picture, portrait of Gian Francesco Gonzaga, from the Collection of the Ambras Castle, Innsbruck, Austria.

Mantua is a city and commune in Lombardy, Italy, and capital of the province of the same name. In 2016, Mantua is Italian Capital of Culture, as chosen by the Italian Government on Tuesday 27 October 2015.
In 2017, Mantua will also be European Capital of Gastronomy, included in the Eastern Lombardy District (together with the cities of Bergamo, Brescia and Cremona).
In 2007, Mantua's centro storico (old town) and Sabbioneta were declared by UNESCO to be a World Heritage Site. Mantua's historic power and influence under the Gonzaga family has made it one of the main artistic, cultural, and especially musical hubs of Northern Italy and the country as a whole. Mantua is noted for its significant role in the history of opera; the city is also known for its architectural treasures and artifacts, elegant palaces, and the medieval and Renaissance cityscape. It is the place where the composer Monteverdi premiered his opera L'Orfeo and where Romeo was banished in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. It is the nearest town to the birthplace of the Roman poet Virgil, who was commemorated by a statue at the lakeside park Piazza Virgiliana.
The Gonzagas protected the arts and culture, and were hosts to several important artists such as Leone Battista Alberti, Andrea Mantegna, Giulio Romano, Donatello, Peter Paul Rubens, Pisanello, Domenico Fetti, Luca Fancelli and Nicolò Sebregondi. Though many of the masterworks have been dispersed, the cultural value of Mantua is nonetheless outstanding, with many of Mantua's patrician and ecclesiastical buildings being uniquely important examples of Italian architecture.
Main landmarks include:
The Palazzo Te (1525–1535), a creation of Giulio Romano (who lived in Mantua in his final years) in the mature Renaissance style, with some hints of a post-Raphaelian mannerism. It was the summer residential villa of Frederick II of Gonzaga. It hosts the Museo Civico (with the donations of Arnoldo Mondadori, one of the most important Italian publishers, and Ugo Sissa, a Mantuan architect who worked in Iraq from where he brought back important Mesopotamian artworks)
The Palazzo Ducale, famous residence of the Gonzaga family, made up of a number of buildings, courtyards and gardens gathered around the Palazzo del Capitano, the Magna Domus and the Castle of St. George with the Camera degli Sposi, a room frescoed by Andrea Mantegna.
The Basilica of Sant'Andrea was begun in 1462 according to designs by Leon Battista Alberti but was finished only in the 18th century when was built the massive dome designed by Filippo Juvarra.
The Duomo (Cathedral of Saint Peter the Apostle)
The Rotonda di San Lorenzo
The Bibiena Theater, also known as the Teatro Scientifico, was made by Antonio Bibiena in 1767-1769. It was opened officially on 3 December 1769 and on 16 January 1770, thirteen-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played a concert.
The church of San Sebastiano
The Palazzo Vescovile (Bishops Palace)
The Palazzo degli Uberti
Palazzo d'Arco, a Neoclassical palace erected by the eponoymous noble family from Trento starting from 1746. It is home to a museum and painting gallery with works by Bernardino Luini, Alessandro Magnasco, Frans Pourbus the Younger, Anthony Van Dyck and a painting cycle by Giuseppe Bazzani.
The Torre della Gabbia (Cage Tower)
The Palazzo del Podestà, Mantua
The Palazzo della Ragione with the Torre dell'Orologio (Clock Tower)
The Palazzo Bonacolsi
The Palazzo Valenti Gonzaga, an example of Baroque architecture and decoration, with frescoes attributed to Flemish painter Frans Geffels. The façade of the palace was designed by Nicolò Sebregondi.
Casa del Mercato, a frescoed Renaissance building designed by Luca Fancelli in 1462 and later used by Andrea Mantegna.
House of Mantegna, facing the church of San Sebastiano. It was built by the eponymous artist starting from 1476, and has plan with a circular internal court included within an external square building. It is now used for temporary exhibitions.
The church of Santa Paola, built in the early 15th century by the will of Marchioness Paola Malatesta, wife of Francesco I. Architects such as Luca Fancelli and Giulio Romano collaborated to its construction. It houses the tombs of five members of the Gonzaga family, including those of Paola and of Francesco II.
The church of Santa Maria del Gradaro, built starting from 1256 on the site where, according to the tradition, Saint Longinus was buried. In 1772 it became a store, and was reconsecrated only in the 1950s.
