The city has a historical centre that is easy to explore, with many monuments and buildings, witnesses of an important history. The city tour starts from <strong>Piazza Sordello<\/strong>, with <strong>Palazzo Ducale<\/strong>, the palace of the Gonzaga, and the cathedral dedicated to St. Peter, then to move towards the historical squares as <strong>Piazza delle Erbe<\/strong> and <strong>Piazza Broletto<\/strong> on which stands the <strong>Palazzo del Podest\u00e0<\/strong>. Among the monuments to be seen, of course, <strong>Palazzo Te<\/strong>, dating back to 1500, with its magnificently frescoed halls.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nAnd once the tour of the monuments and palaces of Mantua is over, the city opens its doors to all the cultural events that take place throughout the year. Such as &#8216;<strong>Altroteatro<\/strong>&#8216; which lasts until April and brings on stage interesting plays of literary works. Or the \u201c<strong>Sunday Concerts<\/strong>\u201d held at the Bibiena theater in Via Accademia: over 25 events are scheduled for the thirteenth edition of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from February you can enjoy the &#8220;<strong>Mondays of music<\/strong>&#8220;, fifteen concerts with the aim to engage young audiences in particular. Throughout the year, Sunday is also the day of the &#8216;<strong>Museum for families<\/strong>&#8216; with guided tours at discounted rates to Palazzo Te and Palazzo San Sebastiano. And until April there is \u201cOrchestra Time\u201d as well, with a program of great quality, which has gathered more than 2,000 participants in the edition of 2010.<\/p>\n<p>However, the most important event is &#8216;<strong>Festivaletteratura<\/strong>&#8216; which takes place in autumn: a fun-filled cultural event, during which in various locations in the city are organized meetings, exhibitions, events. A moment that has gone beyond national borders, and greets tourists from all over Europe. In the days of Festivaletteratura, the hotels in Mantua are always packed: without an advanced booking it will be difficult to find free rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sedoglia\/94977036\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">sedoglia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Mantua, art and culture await you all year round, in addition to the Festival of Literature, there are many cultural happenings and monuments not to be missed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[492],"class_list":["post-1071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-italy","tag-museums"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
