Via Bocca Chiavica, 33, Gazzuolo

This is the flat lower Oglio-Po plain, with canals, embankments, fields and scattered villages. The Oglio river is nearby, and the Po runs a little farther south with its floodplain landscape. Sabbioneta, the nearest small town of note, is within this area and is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its planned Renaissance urban layout. Casalmaggiore is the nearest town of some size for daily services and rail links. The area is known for irrigated agriculture and for the historic small towns of the lower Mantovano and Casalasco plain.
