Castiglione delle Stiviere

Castiglione delle Stiviere is a commune in Lombardy, located in the Province of Mantua. The town has a long history as a residence and administrative center, and today offers a mix of historic buildings and modern life.

The castle here was a residence of the Gonzaga family, one of the most powerful families in the region. During the War of Spanish Succession, two important battles took place that shaped the history of the place.

The International Red Cross Museum tells the story of how a humanitarian organization was founded here and displays documents from the movement's work. Visitors can understand how this movement changed the world and what role this place played in its creation.

The place lies in an agricultural region between larger cities and is easily reached by car or train. Accommodation and basic services are available, so visitors can stay and explore the area.

A hexagonal fountain on the central square has its own story and is used by locals and visitors as a meeting point. This architectural element shapes the appearance of the commune to this day.
