Mantova / Mantua

"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

"Hello, Juliet - I'm in Mantova" :-) 

Yup, when Romeo was banished it was to Mantova (aka Mantua), a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Italy that lays claim to being the hometown of Virgil and Monteverdi. And on top of all that it has some beautiful man-made lakes that were made for sunsets. I visited last August and absolutely fell in love with the place.

All the pictures were taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the 12-40 f2.8 lens. Please click on any of them to go in to a scrollable lightbox view.
