Sabbioneta

Sabbioneta is a walled town in Lombardy, northern Italy. Accessible via 2 Renaissance-era gates, it's home to the grand Palazzo Ducale, with stucco portraits and an ornate interior, and the elegant Teatro all'Antica. Crowned by a wooden cornice, the whitewashed Palazzo del Giardino houses a collection of 16th-century frescoes. The Percorso degli Arginelli nature trail takes in village churches and country villas.
