Audio tour Sounds of Mantova

Buongiorno, amici! I am Young Rigoletto, the Duke’s sprightly young jester, here to lead you on a musical adventure through Mantova. Our journey begins at Palazzo Te in the Garden of Esedra and the illustrious Sala dei Giganti, a setting so grand it once hosted the filming of Jovanotti’s video for “L’ombelico del mondo”, where the magic of modern pop met the echoes of history.

Next, we step into the Conservatorio di Musica “L. Campiani”, where tomorrow’s maestros are nurtured, and then to Teatro Sociale, a splendid venue that has long been the stage for stirring operas and symphonic delights.

Prepare to be enchanted at Teatro Bibiena, a treasure of Baroque elegance. Here, legends whisper through the corridors; yes, even Mozart himself once graced these hallowed halls with his music!

But Mantova’s soul sings beyond these historic venues. At Arci Virgilio, local bands and emerging talents infuse the city with fresh energy, while Papa’s and Zanzara offer charming music venues upon the lake where one may quaff a drink and delight in live melodies, basking in both modern revelry and the timeless serenade of our fair Mantova.

So, let your ears be your guide and your heart the compass, as Mantova reveals its timeless melodies and surprises at every corner. Enjoy the music, dear travelers, and let each note echo the rich legacy of our beloved city!

Some stories are whispered, some are sung… Ask Young Rigoletto, and he will give them voice.
