Mantova is a small, splendid town and has a perfectly preserved historical centre filled with marvellous Italian Art and architecture. It is situated in the Po Valley between 3 lakes i.e. Lake Superior, Middle Lake and Inferior Lake where tourists can cycle and keep fit or just relax, have a picnic at the lakeside under the trees. The most important sites to visit are: 1.
