The routes
|
|
The Mantuan area offers many resources to the tourist who longs for a serene, relaxing cultural dimension, which is at the same time permeated with intense charm: as well as the famous art and history treasures and the innumerable itineraries through nature, we propose aspects which are less known, nut not less exciting, and roads which lead to charming, often unknown environments.
Countryside is the protagonist of these routes, which are a suggestion to approach it and know it in its multiform shades: the museums of the rural civilization , the lands reclaimed from water, the great river, the itineraries on horseback and by bicycle, the traditional products, handicraft….
Surrender softly to the charm of this land.

Flat, ploughed countryside,cut by rivers and irrigation canals, lightened from May to September, by the reflection of the water on the rice-fields.

The art road in the south of the province of Mantua
Among the misty plains in the south of the province of Mantua we could never expect to find something other than the immovable farms, from the hard work of the farmers in the fields, to the rows of the silent poplars that frame the Po. - more...

The main embankment: the water-scooping plants
From Mondine to Sabbioncello: a land reclaimed from water
The main enbankment
This work allows the Padana Plain to exist, with the appearance it has today.

On Matilde's tracks
The countess and the city

Memories of rural culture in the province of Mantua
In the Mantuan area there are various ways of remembering a rural world which has now unfortunately almost disappeared. These include museums of the rural civilization and family museums.

These objects often belong to the history of the farm and the family itself, and were used generation after generation until a few decades ago. - more...
