5 day tour
Venice, Mantua and Cremona
Our main purpose is to retrace the same itinerary that Monteverdi used to do to reach his beloved cities. Each city claims its paternity, because all of them marked an important milestone in his artistic and personal life. This is the starting point of the new edition of “Monteverdi Festival 2023”. This edition wants to undertake a counter-current route starting from Venice, visit Mantua and get to Cremona in the opening day of the Monteverdi Festival. A long weekend full of events! This particular excursion will take you to admire the beautiful Venetian Lagoon with the panoramic St. Mark’s Basin and the navigation on the ancient canals connecting the Serenissima Republic of Venice and some important cultural and commercial cities such as Chioggia. We are going to enter the uncontaminated territories of the Po Delta Natural Park, where history and nature dominate the amazing Landscape.
