The route is intertwined with other tourist itineraries in the area: Route of Mantuan Wines and Flavors is Route of Rice and Risotto Mantovani.
- Rice road - The itinerary - to be carried out in particular from May to September - runs through the Mantua area dedicated to the cultivation of rice, between rivers and canals.
- Historic villages of the Po - The itinerary, from west to east or vice versa, leads to know some historic villages that rise near the "great river".
- In the lands of the Gonzagas - An itinerary through the centers, large and small, which were the capitals of the Gonzaga cadet branches: principalities, marquisates, duchies which, within the Mantuan state structure, enjoyed real independence, often minted coins and held refined courts that rivaled that of Mantua, embellished their urban centers by equipping them with elegant architecture - churches, squares, palaces, walls, towers - and characteristic urban views such as the typical Gonzaga arcades.
- Matildic churches in the Mantuan Oltrepò - The itinerary goes to the discovery of the churches and oratories that were built between the 11th and 12th centuries by Canossa, whose most representative exponent was the Grand Countess Matilda of Canossa.
