Places to see in ( Mantova - Italy ) Piazza Sordello
Piazza Sordello is a large square located in Mantua and dedicated to the 13th century Mantuan poet Sordello da Goito. The square of San Pietro , its first name, was built in 1330 after the demolition of old houses that were located between two parallel streets that still followed the ancient urban design of the Roman city. A street, Strada Magna joined the vault of San Pietro with the cathedral while the other street, Strata Sanctae Mariae Matris Domini , joined the church that gave it its name, to the church of Santa Croce, later incorporated into the Palazzo Ducale , which overlooked on the right side of the churchyard of the Duomo.
For centuries, the square has remained the center of Mantua's political, social and religious life. The predominant architecture of the square is to be traced mainly to the Late Middle Ages with insertions that can be placed in 1700 as the facade of the Duomo and the Palazzo Vescovile (Bianchi), which is located next to the Duomo itself. On the side of the latter the massive Romanesque bell tower betrays its medieval origins. On the left side of the square, looking at the façade of the Duomo, Palazzo Acerbi rises up in sequence, dominated by the Torre della Gabbia , Palazzo Bonacolsi (Castiglioni), both decorated with round three-light windows and two arched ones, one arched and one renaissance, Ca 'degli Uberti and Palazzo Vescovile also known as Palazzo Bianchi .
On the other side of the square there is the Palazzo del Capitano , which dates back to before 1328, when the Gonzaga family took over the power and made it the initial and oldest nucleus of the Palazzo Ducale . Next to this majestic crenellated building, the Domus Magna was built as the previous one characterized by fifteenth-century mullioned windows .
In December 2006 , the remains of mosaic-decorated floors of an imperial Roman domus were found in the south-east corner of Piazza Sordello. Currently, the archaeological site , awaiting new excavations, is contained in a structure to allow public viewing. This random archaeological discovery could induce a revision of the history of Mantua , of which the Roman era has always been considered marginal, but in any case confirming that the place now occupied by the square has always been the center of the Mantuan community.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Mantua (Italian: Mantova [ˈmantova] (listen); Lombard and Latin: Mantua) is a city and comune in Lombardy, Italy, and capital of the province of the same name.
In 2016, Mantua became Italian Capital of Culture. In 2017, Mantua was the European Capital of Gastronomy, included in the Eastern Lombardy District (together with the cities of Bergamo, Brescia, and Cremona).
In 2007, Mantua's centro storico (old town) and Sabbioneta were declared by UNESCO to be a World Heritage Site. Mantua's historic power and influence under the Gonzaga family has made it one of the main artistic, cultural, and especially musical hubs of Northern Italy and the country as a whole. Mantua is noted for its significant role in the history of opera; the city is also known for its architectural treasures and artifacts, elegant palaces, and the medieval and Renaissance cityscape. It is the place where the composer Monteverdi premiered his opera L'Orfeo and where Romeo was banished in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. It is the nearest town to the birthplace of the Roman poet Virgil, who was commemorated by a statue at the lakeside park Piazza Virgiliana.
Mantua is surrounded on three sides by artificial lakes, created during the 12th century, as the city's defence system. These lakes receive water from the Mincio River, a tributary of the Po River which descends from Lake Garda. The three lakes are called Lago Superiore, Lago di Mezzo, and Lago Inferiore (Upper, Middle, and Lower Lakes, respectively). A fourth lake, Lake Pajolo, which once served as a defensive water ring around the city, dried up at the end of the 18th century.
The area and its environs are important not only in naturalistic terms, but also anthropologically and historically; research has highlighted a number of human settlements scattered between Barche di Solferino and Bande di Cavriana, Castellaro and Isolone del Mincio. These dated, without interruption, from Neolithic times (5th–4th millennium BC) to the Bronze Age (2nd–1st millennium BC) and the Gallic phases (2nd–1st centuries BC), and ended with Roman residential settlements, which could be traced to the 3rd century AD.
In 2017, Legambiente ranked Mantua as the best Italian city for the quality of the life and environment.
