MANTUA, RIDING SEGWAY PT IN THE CITY OF GONZAGAS!
This rural city gave birth to the supreme Poet Virgil, and this means, for this land a more and more glorious destiny. From free Commune to Signory; the Bonacolsi and Gonzaga families erected buildings, palaces, towers and mansions all around Piazza Sordello, besides a number of churches and St George’s castle.
Over two centuries Mantua flourished in politics, economics and culture, giving rise to one of the richest Royal Palace in Europe. There was no lack of men of letters and artists, such as Mantegna for the frescos, Leon Battista Alberti for the architectural design of Renaissance churches, and Giulio Romano who supervised the town planning renewal and build the ducal villa out of town in the sixth century.
