Around
- Lake Garda
- Solferino - The famous battle of the Risorgimento of 24 June 1859, which saw the Austrians defeated, handed down the name of the town to history, like the nearby center of Saint martin. The Risorgimento Museum recalls the epic of those years, together with the Ossuary which houses the bones of 7,000 fallen from that carnage. The town also preserves a fortress and a Gonzaga castle.
- San Martino della Battaglia - Contemporary to that of Solferino, the Risorgimento battle linked in the town's toponym saw the defeat of the Austrians during the second war of Independence. On the hill of the confrontation there is a commemorative tower; an ossuary holds thousands of remains of fallen soldiers from the opposing armies.
- 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.
