Travel Tips
Mantova has long seemed to have something in the water that inspired artists and musicians. The Roman poet Virgil was born nearby. The town was used as a setting of Giuseppe Verdi’s Opera, Rigoletto and was also the place of Romeo’s exile in Romeo and Juliet. Antonio Vivaldi wrote many of his most famous operas and concerti in the 18th century. Much of Mantova’s culture and wealth come from the days in which it was ruled by the Gonzagas, one of the most powerful families in Europe during the Middle Ages. Visit their primary residence, the Palazzo Ducale, in the city’s historic city center.

Monza is a city running at two speeds. The Formula 1 tears up the historic Autodromo while runners, slow and steady, pace through the Park and Villa. The Duomo is the guardian of art and history, wanted by the Longobard Teodolinda. Among its unique treasures, the Iron Crown symbol of royal power, kept in the precious Chapel.
