At long last! Mantova is at the top of National statistics, even if we certainly had liked not to!! It turned out there's a car place in 14.8 inhabitants while the national average is one in 50! Below you find the streets (vie) or areas where parking is free and except illicit or last minute mind changes of public administrators, --it's even possible for camper vans a non equipped stay  (there isn't specific prohibition)

Mantua has more or less an extension of 1,5 kms, and to find free a parking place in center is impossible almost. The suggestion is to park in the area of Te Palace or in the external avenues and to take a walk toward the center or can be taken the bus n°1
