I sepolcri dei Gonzaga, segni di potere sul territorio
IL GUSTO DEL BELLO, PRIMO PIANO

Percorso a Mantova, San Martino dall’Argine e Gazzuolo 
I sepolcri e i mausolei dei Gonzaga rappresentano contemporaneamente due aspetti: da un lato preservano la memoria dei regnanti e dall’altro legittimano il potere dei loro discendenti.
L’itinerario inizia in Duomo a Mantova dove scopriremo quali importanti personalità della casata furono sepolte qui, e proseguirà all’oratorio di San Pietro a Gazzuolo e alla Chiesa dei Santi Fabiano e Sebastiano a San Martino Dall’Argine, mausolei dei rami cadetti.
Nel percorso è compreso lo spostamento con autobus privato.

Risorsaturistica San Pietro Cathedral (Dome), Mantua The Dome, dedicated to St Peter, became a cathedral in the 11C when it was rebuilt in Romanesque style. The church is the most representative monument of the city’s political, religious and cultural history. It is a remarkable palimpsest that bears the signs of the centuries, e.g. the Romanesque bell-tower on the right side showcasing the skill of the Dalle Masegne brothers (early 15C). In religious terms, as a cathedral this is the primary church of the diocese (housing the intact body of the patron saint Anselmo, bishop of Lucca). The interior with a nave and four aisles was designed by Giulio Romano. Do not miss the beautiful illustrated 4C sarcophagus, a series of 16C paintings, a cycle of Mannerist frescoes (transept, dome, apse) and the elegant 15C chapel where an image of the Coronation of the Virgin Mary is venerated.
Risorsaturistica Church of St Fabiano and Sebastiano Also known as the 'Chiesa dei Frati' because formerly attached to the monastery of the Minorite Friars, this became the parish church when the castle church was no longer usable. It was built in several phases by rural craftsmen.
Risorsaturistica Oratory of San Pietro Dating from 10C - a baptismal chapel is recorded in 966 -, in the 12C this was the church of the adjacent Benedictine monastery. In 1506, Cardinal Pirro Gonzaga, son of Gianfrancesco and Antonia Del Balzo, founders of the Gazzuolo dynasty, donated the monastic complex to the Girolamini family and the small church was restored to become the Gonzaga pantheon. From 1704 to 1773, the entire complex was in the hands of the Jesuits of Mantua, who turned it into a holiday centre from May to August. After they were suppressed, in 1869 it was left to the community of Belforte. In 1893, it reopened for worship for a few years before being converted to a granary and store. Restoration work is currently underway. The late-Gothic facade, flanked by a Romanesque bell-tower, intact, features a large 16C rusticated doorway surmounted by the oculus of an old rose window and a coat-of-arms. The interior, stripped and ruined by neglect, conserves a Renaissance loggia, a marble frame of 15C appearance.
