The Gonzaga treasures

The county has historically been dominated by the Gonzaga dynasty that left important signs of its presence, such as patrician residences, fortresses but also reclamation works that allowed the flourishing of agriculture and the local economy.

The day trip starts from Novellara with a visit to the Fortress that houses the Museo Gonzaga and then leads to the city of Reggiolo and its castle built in the thirteenth century and then strengthened in the fourteenth century that preserves the original walls, the four corner towers and the merlons.
Then we head towards Guastalla to admire the Palazzo Ducale and Piazza Mazzini where towers the Statue of Ferrante Gonzaga.
