villetta a schiera a San Giacomo delle Segnate

This is the lower Po plain around the Secchia valley, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and embankments. The Secchia flows nearby and the Po is not far to the north. Mantova is the nearest city of size, with major historic buildings and the lakes formed by the Mincio around the city. This part of southern Lombardia is known for intensive farming and for the earthquake-hit plain settlements between Mantova, Modena and Ferrara.
