The palaces, which were a symbol of
power, were wonderful show pieces
for great works of art. In four centuries of domination under the Gonzagas,
Mantua was transformed
into a city court, with a royal palace
of over 500 elaborate rooms, with
internal gardens and courtyards.
Similar examples can be found in the
small provincial courts of Sabbioneta,
Castiglione, and Revere. All this
splendour was further enhanced
during the period of Maria Teresa of
Austria in the 18th century.
