The water machines.

Three thousands of years in history tell us about the solemn love match between Mantuans and waters.
A tale of war and history. Starring: first of all the plebeian of Gubernole. Attila the Hun, and Pope Saint Leo the Great, Matilda of Tuscany and Henry IV, Dante, Giovanni dalla Bande Nere, Mameli, Nino Bixio.
Everything in Governolo tastes like history mixed with the creative technology and engineering science: Leonardo da Vinci and Alberto Pitentino, the Bertazzolo. The water machines 1000 years ago used to sustain, as they do today, the waters of Mincio.

MORNING: guided visit to the Old Town of Mantua.
AFTERNOON: navigation Mantua-Po with water elevator (2h 30’). Guided visit to the Water Machines. A didactic operator will guide you in the ancient Governolo town, in the old river bed and inside the historical "pound lock" by Messer Alberto Pitentino (1198).
