Appartamento in Gazoldo degli Ippoliti

This is the low plain between the Mincio and Oglio river systems, with cultivated fields, drainage channels and scattered farmsteads. The Mincio valley and the morainic hills south of Lake Garda begin farther north around Volta Mantovana and Solferino, outside the immediate area. The nearest town of size is Mantova, which has a substantial historic centre and UNESCO status for Mantova and Sabbioneta, but Mantova is beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for intensive agriculture in the Mantuan plain.
