Wandering through the elegant little streets of the city of Mantova can be an excellent way to spend an afternoon. But the last time I visited I spent most of my day visiting the palaces of the Gonzagas
The city is dripping with culture form a time past..from the Teatro Accademico where Mozart appeared to many visits by Leonardo DaVinci because of a close friendship he had with Isabella D’Este, the daughter of the Duke of Ferrara
Isabella married one of the Gonzagas and she ruled Mantua for a time. Because of her the city literally became a cultural center. Almost every notable artist of her day painted her portrait..and her effect, even though many years ago, is still felt in some way as you stroll through.
After a long day of strolling and wandering through the Gonzagas ‘home’ a welcome stop was a local restaurant…I can’t remember exactly what we ordered there ,but I do remember that the meal ended with a Torta Sbrisolana di Mantova ..the flavor has never left me..as elegant and delicious as the town itself.
A crumbly, buttery cornmeal cake……
.

Torta Sbrisolana di Mantua
1 ½ cups(300)gr cornmeal flour
½ cup(100 gr) white flour
1 cup (200 gr) chopped almonds
