Interesting visit. Some spectacular displays from the average to the weird and wonderful. The giants room is impressive as is the grotto.

Sabbioneta is a small town built as an ideal Renaissance city in the 16th Century, now rediscovered as a UNESCO site: among its features, after driving through the surrounding original fortress walls, is the Antique Gallery - 3rd longest room in Italy. In it's day, the Duke Vespasiano Gonzaga filled the long hall with archeological treasures. Sold off after his reign (which left no heir), the Gallery remains with its decorate frescoes that adorn not only the long hall, but several other rooms both large and small - some of the most amazing paintings of the 16th Century.

Forte Ardietti was built in 1856/1861 following the siege of Peschiera del Garda in 1848 and it has been included in the territorial defence system of the AUSTRIAN QUADRANGLE. The ensemble is part of the number of forts which have been put under the protection of the piazzaforte on the lake. The manufactured, designed by the architect Michael von Maly, colonel of the Genio Militare Asburgico, is built of dry walling; it includes an octagonal structure, as a pincer re-entering fort (???); on the back a big 2 floor lobby and an inside courtyard have been extracted. Adjacent to this imposing structure the accomodation of the consignee and of the guardhouse has been built. When it ended being a war target, the fort has been used as a munitions’ deposit and then decommissioned. Owned by Austria first and then by Italy, it has been acquired by Ponti sul Mincio’s city hall in 2014 and it still in a good state of conservation.
