WHY GO
No culinary tour of Italy is complete without a visit to Mantua. This gastronomic haven is the home of pumpkin tortelli, slow-cooked sauces and some of Italy's finest restaurants. These include three within a 40km radius of the city which now share a total of six Michelin stars, Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull' Oglio, L'Ambasciata in Quistello and Il Bersagliere in Goito. In a historical context, Mantua gained its fame in Roman times as the home town of Virgil, born around 70BC. This former capital of the Gonzaga dukes, who ruled Mantua for three centuries, is one of the most atmospheric old cities in the country.
