The Tours

Three masterpieces, one privilege: seeing them in private

No group of strangers, no flag to follow. Just you and your guide, at your own pace.

The Gonzaga Court

Ducal Palace

A city within the city: over 900 rooms of courtyards, hanging gardens and Mantegna's Bridal Chamber — the masterpiece worth the journey on its own.

≈ 2 hours Ducal Palace tour
The Villa of Wonders

Palazzo Te

Federico II Gonzaga's pleasure villa by Giulio Romano: the Chamber of the Giants will collapse around you; the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche will make you blush.

≈ 2 hours Palazzo Te tour
UNESCO World Heritage

Historic Centre

From the medieval squares to Alberti's Basilica of Sant'Andrea: a thousand years of history in one walk between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Your Guide

Mariangela Spallanzani

A licensed tour guide of Mantua for over 25 years.

After classical studies at the Liceo Virgilio of Mantua, my love for art and for foreign cultures led me to the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, where I took my master's degree, passing several Art History exams with top marks.

I am licensed as a tour guide for Mantua and its province in Italian, English, French and Spanish. I served as vice-president and then president of Casa di Rigoletto, one of Mantua's tour guide associations, and I work with the most important guide associations of the territory.

Reliable, punctual and devoted to my guests, I accompany families, individual travellers and groups on engaging tours, so that everyone who comes to Mantua leaves with an indelible memory.

Licence — Qualified tour guide for Mantua and province, since 1997
Education — Master's degree, Ca' Foscari University of Venice · postgraduate specialisation, University of Ferrara
Tour languages — English, Italian, French
