Mantua is a small town, capital and namesake of its own
province in southern Lombardy, Italy.
Founded by the Romans, like many—but more than most—Italian city-states, Mantua has been an important centre of political and
artistic activity since the Middle Ages.
Like most, if not all, city-states turned small towns, it's been struggling with the management of its immense cultural heritage for centuries.
