Boghetto is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0– Located near Valeggio sul Mincio, it is characterized by the river which, crossing it, makes it seem almost like a small Venice.<\/span><\/p>\n

I spent a couple of hours more than a day at Borghetto;\u00a0the village is very small and can also be visited in 10 minutes but to appreciate it you must definitely enter the various restaurants and bars overlooking the Mincio!<\/span><\/p>\n

It was built by order of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan, between 1393 and 1395 and was once connected to the castle by high crenellated walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

You arrive here crossing the Visconteo bridge and you will discover\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>a tiny village located on the river Mincio<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0, a perfect place for a\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>romantic getaway<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and to take pictures of an Italy that has already passed through many other places: stone houses, old water mills , the view on the melancholic ruins of the medieval bridge and the castle that appears among the trees on the hill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Curiosity: heading towards the\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Castello\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Scaligero<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0you can make a very special meeting.\u00a0A pet pig behind a gate accompanied by a sign “do not feed the pig.”<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also here the\u00a0<\/span>Spritz<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0: alcoholic aperitif formed by the mixture of aperol, dry white wine and soda.\u00a0You can enter one of the bars that offer a view of the river to be overhanging with a very special view.\u00a0Prices are around 4 euros for a drink or something more for those more special.<\/span><\/p>\n
