Sabbioneta is one of the most
magical places I know in Italy. I have visited this little town many times and
I always find something interesting to see and photograph.
It
was a hot summer afternoon and the streets were more deserted than usual giving
the photographs I took a strange atmosphere.
Given
the mass tourism hell holes that many places like the Cinque Terre have become,
Sabbionetta fortunately has not been “discovered” yet as a place that one “must”
visit in Italy, even though it is close to Mantua/Mantova another jewel of a
city.
I
also came away as usual with a local irresistible delicacy: sbrisolona, a local calorific bomb of a cake.
One
thing; do not visit on Monday when the monuments and the Athena bakery is
closed.
