Gazoldo lies between Oglio and Mincio rivers, 20 km away from the morainal hills in Alto Mantovano, and 20 km away from Mantua; Gazoldo is a small village, which was founded in very ancient times. The famous Roman route via Postumia, built in 148 BC on the orders of consul Postumius Albinus in what is now the Po valley to run from Genoa to Aquileia, crosses it north-south. As Gazoldo name sounds like being of German origin, they think Longobards may have lived here from Roman to Medieval ages. During XIV century, the Commune underwent Ippoliti family seigniory; this family descended from an XI century Roman noble man. In 1590, they built a mint, which made Gazoldo internationally famous.
Gazoldo hosts two important museums: the Modern Art Museum (MAM), founded in 1980 in XVI century Villa Ippoliti, and the Wax Museum, hosting over 100 statues of historical figures.
Just outside the village, towards Redondesco, you can see the XVII century court house.
