Descrizione

Medole is a small village lying just south of the morainal hills, between Castiglione delle Stiviere and Castel Goffredo. Medole name likely comes from "medolo", id est a gravel pit which was once north of the village itself.
Medole was a part of Mantua duchy, then of Castiglione marquisate (from 1602 to early XVIII century), and finally of the Hapsburg empire. The famous Solferino and San Martino battle, 24 June 1859, started here: the battle of Medole lasted 15 hours and killed 15.000 people.
The parish church retains a precious canvas by Titian.
