The territory of the municipality of Volta Mantovana is located in a countryside
which is characterised by the presence of hillside elevations of a significant
altitude and by an intriguing natural environment. The town itself has ancient
origins and is situated precisely on the first morainic hills overlooking the Po
valley. The first settlements there can be traced back to the phase of the
Polada culture and to the middle Bronze Age. Thanks to its strategic
geographical position, between Lake Garda and the plains around the river
Mincio, over the centuries it has been used as a bulwark during a number of
wars, amongst which the famous battle of Solferino and S. Martino. It is a place
of many historical and architectural beauties. Evocative glimpses and the
atmosphere of times past are hiding around every corner, waiting to enthral the
tourist. The town Castle was built by Beatrice di Canossa and dates back to 1053
and part of its tower is still preserved.
Inside the Castle area there are two noble residences, Villa Cavriani and Villa
Venier, which was to become a habitation of the Gonzaga family. In the
surrounding countryside, some farmhouses of medieval origin still survive and
are particular in aspects of their structure: barrel vaults on the ground floor,
small windows and closed courtyards with the typical well.
