Just ahead there is a deviation to the right that takes you to Volta Mantovana, where you can admire the Gonzaga-Guerrieri Palace and have lunch with a warm plate of capunsèi, also known as bread gnocchi.

Take your time to visit the city and its surroundings with the available bike routes between the Mincio river and Lake Superiore: do not miss them!
