To know
Of undisputed importance for Gazoldo's economy is the presence of the Marcegaglia s.p.a., a leading company in the steel processing and steel rolling sector.
Background
The fief of Gazoldo it was a possession Mantua of ancient origins, belonged to the legal sphere of the rural accounts (Count Ruggero) of Mosio (fraction of Acquanegra sul Chiese) already from the XII century and endowed with economic and administrative autonomy. Passed into possession of the Bonacolsi, lords of Mantua, became a fief of the Ippoliti family, following the marriage of Felicina dei Bonacolsi with Albertino Ippoliti, which took place in 1305. The bride brought large possessions as a dowry, which also included the lands of the fief. On 20 December 1354 the emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg granted Albertino Ippoliti the feudal investiture of the villa seu terra Gazoldi and its appurtenances, transferring all rights to him and recognizing him the title of count and prince of the Empire. Having thus become an imperial fief, the Hippolytes freed themselves from the possible aims of the powerful Gonzagas of Mantua, of whom they became friends and ducal officials.

Around
- Mariana Mantovana - There is the3 Oratory of Campi Bonelli. It is one of the best preserved churches of the Mantuan Middle Ages and characteristic for its rural location. The oratory, entirely in terracotta, was built in the 11th century and has a cycle of 14th century frescoes inside the presbytery.
- Alto Mantovano - Borderland of the Duchy of Mantua, which pursued the dream of obtaining an outlet on Lake Garda without ever realizing it, developed the courts of cadet branches of the Gonzaga family. Castel Goffredo, Castiglione delle Stiviere, Carpenedolo retain the urban layout and monuments of that era. The post-war period saw good employment development, with a consequent increase in well-being and population.
- Mantua - Capital of the Gonzagas, it still emanates its subtle charm of a great city of art for which it appoints it a UNESCO World Heritage Site it was not so much a recognition as a necessary acknowledgment. Its ancient atmospheres are incomparable, the profiles of the palaces and domes that stand out in the Po Valley mist enveloped by the mirror of its lakes, its endless Gonzaga palace that incorporates numerous buildings in the city center.
- Casatico - To see Corte Castiglioni.

- Places of the battle of Solferino and San Martino - The itinerary runs through the places where the historic one took place on 24 June 1859 battle of Solferino and San Martino.
- Rural churches and oratories of Castel Goffredo - The itinerary, entirely in the green countryside rich in waterways, runs through the numerous places of worship, which boast ancient traditions and are the sign of a widespread religiosity, since the sixteenth century.
