About NOVECENTO
The 20th Century Lives Again at Palazzo Gonzaga
NOVECENTO - Cars, Fashion, and Music is the event that, in Volta Mantovana, in the Province of Mantua, brings back the charm of the last century in the spaces of Palazzo Gonzaga and its Italian gardens. An event that intertwines vintage motoring, costume history, and music.
Historic Cars and Fashion
The gardens of the palace host a static exhibition of historic cars, featuring vehicles from the most important 20th-century brands, true protagonists for vintage car enthusiasts.
