What do legendary driver Tazio Nuvolari, racer Learco Guerra – who was nicknamed Human Locomotive – and Juventus and Inter goalscorer Roberto Boninsegna share? They were all Mantua-born. Mantua has always been related to sports and gave great athletes to fencing, motorcycling, rowing, volleyball, table tennis, tamburello...
The city is full of sporting facilities, such as a rowing club - campo canoa in Italian -, which is used also by the national team, a motocross circuit, which hosts world championship races, and a new indoor stadium.
Still, cycle tracks through the morainal hills towards Peschiera del Garda or alongside Mincio river are ideal for cycling and relaxing. And bike is also the everyday transport for many people in Mantua.
