Vespa Club Mantova

An excursion to deep into nature that brings Vespa to the point where the Oglio river flows into the Po, in a blaze of native vegetation and colour.
The Barche bridge, built in 1913 as part of a project and still standing today, harks back to the late 8th century, when the river Oglio could only be crossed with rafts and boats; it is the last bridge on barges remaining in the province of Mantua, and not joins the two banks of the river, but also represents a link between the recent past and the modern day.
Sabbioneta, which, along with MAntua, has held a place on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2008, is a perfect example of the application of Renaissance theories in terms of how an ideal city should be designed.
