When visiting Mantua, a visit to Palazzo Te cannot be missed, where you can immerse yourself in this Renaissance masterpiece among frescoed rooms and unique architectural styles.
Villa of idleness and leisure, designed from 1525 to 1535 by Giulio Romano, a pupil of Raphael, for Federico II Gonzaga, son of Isabella D'Este and Francesco II Gonzaga. It is generically inspired by the ancient Roman villa and, although it has undergone restoration over the centuries, it is presented as one of the most valuable and best preserved Renaissance complexes. Giulio's genius infuses Raphael's and Michelangelo's culture into it, leaving evidence of a profound knowledge of the classical tradition and offering you unprecedented, surprising inventions.
