Monzambano lies on the morainal hills, 90 m above the sea level, on Mincio right riverbank. They think its name likely means “inflamed mountain"; its coat of arms seems to bear this hypothesis out.
Coming from Peschiera del Garda towards Mantua, Monzambano appears as a medieval village around its ancient castle, in a really evocative atmosphere. The castle was built by Veronesi in XII century, while XIV century Castellaro Lagusello walled village – just 4 km away – is considered among the 100 most beautiful villages of Italy.
Still, its territory is covered with vineyards, olive groves and lake vegetation all along Mincio riverbanks.
