Goito

Goito lies along the Mincio River, where its waters cross a low, cultivated plain between Lake Garda and Mantua. The town belongs to Lombardy’s Mantuan countryside, an area shaped by river channels, fields and the broad basin of the Po Valley. On 30 May 1848, the Battle of Goito was fought here during the First Italian War of Independence, when Piedmontese forces defeated Austrian troops. That episode gives this small riverside community a distinct place in the story of the Risorgimento. Mantua, associated with the Gonzaga dynasty and its Mincio-fed lakes, lies to the south-east.
