Mantua and Sabbioneta in the Po Valley in northern Italy represent two aspects of Renaissance urban planning: Mantua shows the renewal and expansion of an existing city, while Sabbioneta, 30 km away, represents the implementation of the period's theories on planning an ideal city. Mantua's layout is generally irregular, and the regular part shows different stages of development since the Roman period, including many medieval buildings, including an 11th-century rotunda and a Baroque theater. Sabbioneta was built in the second half of the 16th century under the rule of one man, Vespasiano Gonzaga Colonna, and can be described as a city of a single period, with a right-angled grid layout. Both cities bear extraordinary testimony to the urban, architectural and artistic realization of the Renaissance, and are linked by the vision and actions of the ruling Gonzaga family. The two towns are important for the value of their architecture and for their prominent role in the dissemination of Renaissance culture. The Renaissance ideals promoted by the Gonzaga family are reflected in the morphology and architecture of the towns.
