GARDA’S MORAINIC HILLS:
A LAND OF DISCOVERY

tal-heritage” status. Adding to the natural
riches of the hills is the protected Mincio
River Regional Park which spans the Lombardy region from Lake Garda to the Po’
river.
T
he expanse of land that stretches
from the southern banks of Lake
Garda across the Mantua plains,
reaching east to the river Mincio and west
to the river Chiese offers visitors a vision
of surprising natural beauty and striking
landscapes.
Easy rolling hills and craggy expanses unwind in a rise and fall of valleys and elevations amid dry plains, gentle dips in the
landscape and the glint of spring waters
shimmering through the hornbeam and
oak thickets, juniper shrubs, leafy vineyards, fruit groves and wheat fields.
These are the Morainic Hills by Lake
Garda, an out-of-the-ordinary area filled
with unique features and framing within
its boundaries the towns of Castiglione
delle Stiviere, Cavriana, Monzambano, Ponti sul Mincio, Solferino and
Volta Mantovana; each basks in the
glory of a castle, or castle ruins, standing
proudly on the highest peak of the highest
hills around which the towns slowly spread
out over the years to comprise ordinary
homes, noble villas and elegant Renaissance stately halls.
These magnificent towns and villages are
framed by another cluster of villages, the
most notable of which are Marmirolo,
Medole, Goito, Guidizzolo and Pozzolengo,
each of outstanding beauty and historical
appeal, with a long tradition of fine food
and wine. The area is one of such outstanding natural beauty and scenic views
that it is considered of prominent public
interest, with some awarded “environmen-
Food and wine
T
he Morainic hills are an incontestable rural treasure, thanks to the rich
and multifaceted natural environment, dotted with paths and cycle ways
and the appeal of an unparalleled culinary
heritage that has produced one of the tastiest and most sought-after local cuisines.
The finest wine produced in this area is the
Lugana, along with the Rubino and Merlot,
parts of the tradition of hilltop red wines,
and Chiaretto, produced by expert winemakers who skilfully extract this tangy and
gently fragranced wine from black grapes.
A number of excellent sparkling white
wines and good sweet liqueur wines are
also produced in the area, alongside internationally classified whites and reds.
On the food front, a host of specialities
await: many of the region’s farm restaurants serve the delicious local salami;
home-made pasta dishes reign in local
restaurants, where capunsèl tops the bill,
a bread dumpling made exclusively in this
area and recognized as a local speciality
by the Lombardy regional council. Cakes
and sweets are also made with popular
local ingredients: Kiseol or busulà (a tasty
biscuit containing spelt flour), the famous
San Biagio cake (chopped almond mixture) and the light and fluffy San Luigi ring
cake (traditionally made in Castiglione

Visitors will have a host of occasions to
savour the many local dishes and delicacies, with something for every palate, at
the the wide range of local events in which
food is the main attraction.
History and culture
T
he magic that only a history worth
telling can create adds beauty to
the sublime. Squeezed by military
and political interests over the centuries,
the past in these parts was often bloody.
Inhabited since the Neolithic Period, each
age in the history of man has been experienced to the full, from the hunter-farmers who built and settled in pile-dwellings
along the banks of the lakes between the
hills, to spreading Etruscan colonization, Cenomani Gallic occupation and
the Roman Conquest. Each civilization
fought over the area and its many riches, leaving their unmistakable and invaluable mark on each part of it.
In the Middle Ages, it took on a strategic importance as the Scaligeri of
Verona, Gonzagas of Mantu and the
Viscounts of Brescia and Milan battled
to control it.
After the 15th century, the land was once
again an object of contention, as both
the ruling dynasties of Venice and the
Gonzagas laid claim to it; by the end
of the 18th century, after the fall of the
great Mantuan dynasty, it fell under the
rule of the Austrians until the Second
Italian War of Independence (1859) when

Castiglione
delle Stiviere
O
ver the centuries and under the rule, first of the Viscount, then the Gonzaga families, Castiglione has always been an important economic, agricultural and industrial centre. The
beating heart of the town, Dallò square, lies at the centre of an interesting urban system
that has retained the vestiges of the ancient castrum it once was.
Other important landmarks are the ruins of the stately home and birthplace of Luigi Gonzaga,
the Jesuit priest canonized in 1726, and the square named after him where the San Luigi Basilica-Sanctuary stands. Built in 1612, the Sanctuary houses the relics of the Saint and his nieces,
clerics Cinzia, Olympia and Gridonia Gonzaga who founded the Virgins of Jesus congregation
and relative College which currently houses the Aloysius Museum. Another emblematic building
of historical and artistic interest is the International Red Cross Museum located inside the 18th
century Longhi Palace; this distinctive building preserves objects and documents chronicling the
beginnings of the Red Cross Movement, started by Henry Dunant.
In addition to the many stately homes and town theatre built in 1843, the town boasts many other
historical attractions; notable among these are the Castle and walls built by the Gonzaga family,
the Pastore Park and Palace, Palazzo Meghini (originally housing the Menghini nursery and now
an art gallery and meeting rooms) and Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio, a historic house museum and
important cultural venue.
Castiglione has a busy calendar of events with something of interest happening every month, as
well as a variety of local food and wine specialities. The biggest occasion of the year is the local
flower festival - Castiglione in fiore - which very cleverly combines floriculture with history, tradition and needless to say, the fine local cuisine.
The town itself is set against a verdant natural backdrop that can be easily explored by bike.
Patron Saint: Saint Aloysius Gonzaga
Weekly market: Saturday (8:00 - 13:00) in Via Garibaldi, Via Pretorio and Via Chiassi
Farmer’s market: Thursday (8:00 - 13:00) in the square (Piazza San Luigi)

Cavriana
C
avrianaThe ancient hilltop town of Cavriana, one of the most typical in the Morainic area,
has been traced to prehistoric times, as testified by archaeological findings uncovered
in the hills (the earliest ones date back to the Neolithic period, 5000BC). In the Middle
Ages, the village was fortified with a castle housing the Gonzaga court from the 15th century. The
castle was destroyed by the Austrians in the mid 700s, leaving only the walls - the main defensive
system - standing today along with the Mediaeval Tower. At the foot of the latter stands a fine example of 700s Gonzaga family architecture, the Villa Mirra Siliprandi, which has been repeatedly
renovated and transformed over the years. It is currently home to a variety of exhibitions and
conferences, and also hosts the “Dulcissima” confectionary fair during the Ancient Saint Blaise
Festival. Tucked away in another corner of the building is the Archaeological Museum of the
Mantuan Hills, one of the most important museums in the Italian region of Lombardy. Just outside
the village, on a tree-lined avenue, is the Saint Mary Parish Church, an 11th century Romanesque
building featuring a distinctive brick, pebble and stone facade with 12th-14th century frescoes
inside. From its hilltop location offering views stretching as far as the Emilia Romagna Apennines,
this church is unquestionably one of the most fascinating religious edifices in the entire province.
Cavriana offers a pleasant haven away from the sticky heat and chaos, but with an equally vibrant
programme of social and cultural events. The outstanding natural beauty and rich natural habitat
of the area has earned the province the designation of environmentally protected site. The rural
ward of Bande di Cavriana was also listed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2011 on account of
its many pre-historic pile-dwellings.
Patron Saint: Saint Blaise
Weekly market: Saturday (8:00 - 13:00) in Via Porta Antica

ANCIENT FEAST OF SAINT BLAISE
Saturday 31 January/1-2 February 2014
The Ancient Feast of Saint Blaise is dedicated to a
mouth-watering cake created more than 450 years
ago, and lovingly handed down over the generations. Every year a historical re-enactment is held in
celebration, during which a huge San Biagio cake is
traditionally cut, whilst the old town centre comes
to life with shows for big and small, conventions,
tastings, cookery demonstrations and a lot more.

Capra d’oro palio
Saturday 5 July
In celebration of the town’s golden renaissance
years, on the first Saturday of July every year, the
Capra d’Oro palio contest is held. The Palio originated from the mythical finding of the legendary “Capra D’Oro” (golden goat) which gave the
town its name (historically called Capriana), and
also appears on the town’s coat of arms.
As part of the palio, each ward taking part in the
contest parades through the town dressed in
8
renaissance costumes in different colours, each putting on scenic representations and folk performances and competing for the
prize of the best ward. The much-coveted prize goes to the ward
that wins the overall Palio.

washed down with the finest of the local wine production, with
a glance skywards to catch a shooting star, as they dance the

Monzambano
N
estling deep in the hills on the right bank of the Mincio river, Monzambano is framed by
cypress trees, olive groves and vineyards.
The historical centre stands on a 90m-high Morainic headland, commanding magnificent
views over the surrounding area. The ancient roots of the town can be seen in the 12th century
castle built by the Veronese in the era of Matilde di Canossa, and the Saint Michael Parish Church,
designed and built by Domenico Rossi between 1743 and 1777. The late Baroque church contains
a variety of artworks by local masters such as Cignaroli and Ugolini. Of much more recent fabrication is the town square, known as the Piazzetta delle Arti e dei Mestieri; this veritable bijoux
overlooking the Virgilio Canal is the ideal setting for concerts and cultural events.
An important landmark in and around Monzambano is the Villa Conti Cipolla, one of the finest examples of 19th century liberty architecture in the Mantua highlands, along with the historical centre of Castellaro Lagusello, designated one of “Italy’s prettiest villages” and awarded an Orange
Flag by the Italian Touring Club. Much celebrated for its rare flowers and pile-dwelling sites, the
Castellaro Lagusello nature reserve is part of the Mincio Regional Park and has been a UNESCO
world heritage site since 2011.
Many different events are organised in the area, offering a cultural diary of wide appeal. Another
feather in Monzambano’s cap are the many restaurants, farmhouses and inns catering to lovers
of good food and wine. Last but not least are the highly popular traditional local fairs and festivals
that attract crowds every year.

Ancient Feast of Saint Margaret
Sunday 23 February 2013
From dawn to dusk, the magnificent village of Castellaro Lagusello, an outlying district

Ponti sul
Mincio
P
onti sul Mincio may be the smallest town in the Morainic Hills, but its geographical location
makes it one of the most appealing for its outstanding natural beauty. It is in fact the closest of the Mantua highland villages to Lake Garda, at a distance of just 4km. Most of the
town and surrounding area fall within the Mincio natural park, which starts within the town limits
of Ponti. Ponti sul Mincio’s mediaeval origins are reflected in the remains of the ancient Castle,
built in the 12th century by the Scaligeri who dominated the upper part of the town. In the town’s
more historic quarters, the building most worthy of note is the 16th century Renaissance parish
church. Inside it houses an exquisite 18th century statue of Mary and baby Jesus and traces of a
15th century fresco.
On the cultural front, the town’s rich food and wine tradition generates much interest. Ponti is in
fact the biggest producer of DOC wines in the area. The local Colli Morenici winery, which is responsible for 50% of the local wine production, is the only public winemaker in the Morainic hills.
In terms of the natural environment, Ponti is one of the largest areas in Italy with such a humid
climate, and as such, has a rich plant life typical of marshy areas, and also a rich animal life. The
countryside around Ponti is criss-crossed by cycle trails which wind their way through the many
mediaeval villages and rural courts they encounter along the way, leading finally to the Mincio
river and a visit to the dam controlling the flow of water out of Lake Garda.

Solferino
T
he town of Solferino sits atop gentle rolling hills and enjoys panoramic views over the plains
towards Lake Garda. The landscape is dotted with water courses in the valleys as a result
of the layer upon layer of impenetrable earth in the ground. For this reason, there are also
many damp areas, ponds and small lakes to be found. The lower-lying areas often have peat bogs,
a vestige of the ancient lakes between the moraines.
It is best known for the Battle of Solferino on 24 June 1859, which was a critical part of the Italian
Risorgimento. During the Second Italian War of Independence, Solferino and San Martino were
bloody battlegrounds in the fighting between the allied Piedmontese and French troops, and the
Austrian army. A group of monuments was erected in memory of these tragic events, including the
Museum, Vault, Rock and Red Cross Memorial. The ancient castle stands in what is without doubt
one of the prettiest hilltop verandas is the area. The building was originally built in the Middle Ages,
but was substantially altered by Prince Orazio Gonzaga in the 16th century, when he turned it into
a residence for himself. It has a rectangular layout and is enclosed in part by the ancient walls,
with some sections circumscribed by rows of houses. Several high-profile events are held in the
castle grounds every year.
The area is also famous for the DOC wine produced in the hills and the culinary tradition captured
in Capunsèl di Solferino, a local speciality and tasty bread dumpling served as a main dish.
Patron Saint: Saint Nicholas

After the first edition in 1992, hundreds of thousands

a Red Cross organisation first originated.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE HISTORIC BATTLE OF
SOLFERINO AND SAN MARTINO
During the Second War of Italian Independence, a
bloody battle was fought between the Austrian and
French-Piedmontese armies at Solferino and San
Martino on 24 June 1859. The ferocious clash was
key to the outcome of the Second War of Independence and also led to the foundation of the

Volta
Mantovana
S
ituated in the outer foothills of the Morainic Hills, the town of Volta Mantovana has ancient
roots as testified by the old town centre and in particular, by the remains of the ancient
castle. Nestling in the countryside, the castle was originally built in the 11th century and
later transformed by the House of Gonzaga in the 14th-15th centuries.
The fortified edifice houses two noble residences: the home of the Gonzaga’s Palazzo Cavriani,
and Villa Venier. The former features a 16th century facade capped by decorative chimneys and a
pretty Italian garden, and is now used as a municipal building. The latter is an ancient renovated
Dominican convent. Across the courtyard in front of Palazzo Cavriani are the palace stables which
are now used as a venue for exhibitions and large cultural events.
Volta has a full calendar of attractions, organised to promote the local area and its defining features, including the culinary ones. Its location beside the Mincio Natural Park gives Volta Mantovana the added attraction of outstanding natural beauty on its doorstep. The whole area north
of the Virgilio canal has in fact been designated a protected site for the huge environmental and
natural interest it incorporates.
The town is criss-crossed by cycle trails and paths which provide a natural itinerary from Mantua
all the way to Mincio, to be done on foot or by bike.

produce, foods, wines, crafts and culture of
Garda’s Morainic hills. It is the perfect opportunity to spend a weekend of full-on good food
and good living.
The event is free, so tickets are not required

Goito
L
ocated in the heart of the province of Mantua, Goito stretches out between the verdant
Morainic hills and the sweeping Mincio river valley. Enjoying such a strategic geographic
location gave Goito a complex history. Over the years, the town went from Gonzaga city
state in the 14th century to battlefield for the Wars of Independence from 1848. The village is
laid out according to the ancient grid plan, and can be reached by the famously-named “Bridge
of Glory”; to the left of the bridge stands a monument to Italian Bersaglieri light infantry soldiers,
commemorating the 8 April 1848 “Battesimo del Fuoco” battle when the Bersaglieri corps fought
Austrian troops at the outbreak of the First Italian War of Independence. Not too far away, the
bronze bust of General La Marmora who was wounded at the site in May 1848 can be seen. Two
fine stately homes stand on the banks of the Mincio river: the eclectic Villa Giraffa and the elegant Villa Moschini. Protected sites of note include the Camignana Valleys, Bertone Park (centre
for the reintroduction of the white stork), Isola della Fragola, the Old Mill on the river (recently
restored) and the Incoronata di Cerlongo Castle.
Amongst its many assets, Goito also boasts rich gastronomic and craft traditions.

Guidizzolo
L
ocated at the foot of the Morainic Hills, the town of Guidizzolo was the object of much
contention between the ruling families of Mantua and Brescia; on 24 August 1216 representatives of these dynasties finally signed an important peace treaty in this town. Guidizzolo’s
artistic and cultural treasures are to be found within the small historical centre, with the ancient
18th century parish church being the main site of interest. Of more recent construction is the
Town Tower, built in 1911 on the site of the previous tower which collapsed in 1870 and was later
demolished in 1875. Landmarks in the town centre include the stately Palazzo Rizzini once the
home of local nobility and now housing the town council offices, and Palazzo Pezzati, now home
to a bank.
On the outskirts of the town heading towards the rural ward of Birbesi stands the Romanesque
Saint Lawrence Oratory, a gabled building of understated elegance dating to the 12th century.
The town enjoys a busy theatre season and other cultural events staged in the local theatre,
which was renovated and reopened on 29 October 2000. Throughout the year there are no end
of interesting things to do, including festivals and street fairs, many held from July to October.
Patron Saint: Our Lady of the Rosary

Marmirolo
T
he history of Marmirolo will be forever linked to
the House of Gonzaga and its rise to power. Over
the centuries, particularly between 1200 and
1300, this royal family’s rule over the land of Marmirolo
was absolute.
With such a rich tapestry of breathtaking landscapes,
Marmirolo boasts a number of sites of outstanding natural beauty such as the rural ward of Pozzolo and the
Fontana forest. A large part of the area is classified as
a protected environmental site, not to mention playing
host to the Mincio natural park. The name Pozzolo derives from the place name posòl in local dialect, which
means “place with water fountain” as waters of the
river Mincio used to be diverted through the village. It is
also the starting point of the Fossa di Pozzolo which occupies the former course of the river. The
river has all the semblances of a canal as it enters Pozzolo, but on leaving the town it reclaims its
legacy as a river, the natural banks once again restored. Located on the last of Garda’s Morainic
Hills and marking the boundary with Veneto, Pozzolo saw many a battle and passing troops until
the Risorgimento period.
The rural ward has a lively, enterprising community and a variety of popular events are held. The
Mantua-Peschiera del Garda cycle path much loved by runners and cyclists also passes through
the town.
Patron Saint: Saints Sebastian and Fabian
Weekly market: Saturday (8:00 - 13:00) in the square (Piazza Roma)
Pozzolo Pike Festival
From Friday 5 to Monday 8 September
Pozzolo, a rural ward of the town of Marmirolo, has been renowned for its trattorias and
local eateries since the 1950s, and thanks to the efforts of a number of these, a tradition
was born that led to the current Luccio in Salsa pike festival.
On the banks of the Mincio, in the area around the local sports centre, food stands serve
the top-of-the-bill dish of the event - pike in sauce with toasted
polenta - as well as tempting visitors with a variety of deliMarmirolo Town Council
cacies from the Mantua culinary tradition. Everything is set to

Medole
T
he town’s name most likely has its roots in the word “medolo”, a geological term meaning
“stone”; this reflects the rich subsoil of stone, gravel and sand to be found throughout the
area, a vestige of the rubble the Garda glaciers left behind when they melted.
Of Roman origins, the historic town centre in Medole is graced by austere Baroque-style buildings
dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, classed as architectural trademarks of the area and
recognizable by the period marble doorways. The castle, built some time in the 11th century, is
the oldest echo of the town’s history; only the footprint of the inner courtyard remains and the
three-walled Civic Tower with Baroque fore-section.
The deconsecrated and derelict castle chapel was demolished in the late 19th century, and a
small private theatre, commissioned by local nobility and dignitaries, was built in its place. This
building was in turn demolished in 1946 to make space for a larger town theatre that stages a
wide variety of events every year.
In addition to the many important meetings held in the exhibition space in the Civil Tower and
Theatre, Medole also organises a full calendar of cultural attractions, showcasing music, fun and
local food and wine specialities.
Patron Saint: Our Lady of Assumption
Weekly market: Saturday (8:00 - 13:00) in the historic town centre
Sports Festival - South Garda Bike

variety of group activities and workshops for children, young people and families.

Pozzolengo
P
ozzolengo is the last natural balcony in an expanse
of countryside otherwise known as the Lugana
grape-growing zone, nestling between the Morainic hills at the corner of three provinces: Brescia, Mantua and Verona. Low-lying plains alternate with rows of
poplar and willow trees, planes and elms in more humid
areas, and natural vegetation and crops. Nearby Lake
Garda softens the climate, allowing a number of different plant species and animals to thrive.
The castle looms large over the town, standing tall at the
top of mount Fluno and built around the turn of the century; a fortified mediaeval hamlet community continues
to thrive inside its walls.
The attractions of the hamlet include the Saint Lawrence parish church, built in 1510 and located in the
centre, by the Palazzo Gelmetti town hall. Inside the
church is a 17th century organ and a selection of prestigious canvases. Other local architectural
jewels are the Piavoli and Brighenti stately homes.
In the 1800s, Pozzolengo was the site of many Risorgimento battles which ultimately won Italy its
independence and subsequent Unification; notable among these was the battle of San Martino
and Solferino on 24 June 1859 which ended the Second War of Italian Independence.
Past and present live happily side-by-side in Pozzolengo, with a contemporary vibe brought by
a brand new hotel complex - Chervo’ Golf - that has become a favourite with the golf set. Set
against the green Morainic hills, the hotel has an ancient 12th century abbey inside the grounds.

take place on or around 10 August, the feast of
Saint Lawrence, include the Boules Palio, Beer

The area is promoted by:
COLLINE MORENICHE DEL GARDA ASSOCIATION
Colline Moreniche del Garda is a non-profit association established to promote tourism and cultural
events in the Morainic hills by Lake Garda. The association was founded
in 1987 and has grown over the years, now representing some 11 different towns: Castiglione delle Stiviere, Cavriana, Goito, Guidizzolo, Marmirolo, Medole, Monzambano, Ponti sul Mincio, Pozzolengo (the only town
within the province of Brescia), Solferino, Volta Mantovana – and the
Province of Mantua.
The association has organized many different events and won acclaim
for the high-profile exhibitions, events and shows staged, such as the
“Castelli in Musica” music festival and the “MosaicoScienze” series of
workshops and meetings of a scientific nature.
In association with:
COLLINE MORENICHE DEL GARDA LOCAL ACTION GROUP
The Colline Moreniche del Garda local action group (GAL) was set up in 2009 under the European
Union Leader project. The objectives of this non-profit, limited liability consortium are to encourage
the start-up of new enterprise, raise awareness of the value of local resources, and bring local authorities and private businesses together.
The local action group pursues these aims through development projects run
with public, European and regional funding, awarded to raise the visibility of
rural communities in the Colline Moreniche area.
The group itself is a partnership representing both the rural communities with members from the local authorities of each of the six founding councils
(Castiglione delle Stiviere, Cavriana, Monzambano, Ponti sul Mincio, Solferino,
Volta Mantovana) and from Mantova provincial council - and local business
interests through the presence of local business groups.
