Novellara

Few towns in Emilia-Romagna have a history as closely tied to Gonzaga rule as Novellara. From 1371 until 1728, it was the seat of the County of Novellara and Bagnolo, governed by a cadet branch of the Mantuan dynasty. The Rocca Gonzaga, a fortified complex at the centre of town, remains the clearest architectural reminder of that long period. Novellara stands on the flat Po Plain, south of the Po River, where cultivated fields, canals and drainage works define the lowland setting. Civic life centres on the old town rather than major tourist circuits, giving the place a distinctly local scale.
