Mantua shows the renewal and extension of an existing city. Typically, Mantua’s layout is irregular with regular parts showing different stages of its growth since the [[Roman]] period and includes many [[medieval]] edifices among them an 11th century rotunda and a [[Baroque]] theatre. The city offers exceptional testimonies to the [[urban]], [[architectural]] and [[art|artistic]] realizations of the [[Renaissance]], linked through the visions and actions of the ruling Gonzaga family. The ideals of the Renaissance, fostered by the Gonzaga family, are present in the towns’ [[morphology]] and architecture.<ref>http://www.mantovasabbioneta-unesco.it</ref><ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1287</ref>
