Second appointment of the series “Incontri al museo”, the cycle of conferences dedicated to art, history and culture hosted at the museum of the City of Castel Goffredo. On Thursday 19 November, historian Andrea Tonni speaks about the international prestige of the Gonzaga horses, known in European courts for their speed and endurance, and the “English requests” of Henry VIII to Federico II Gonzaga. The meeting traces the role of Mantua in Renaissance equestrian culture and how Mantuan stallions were donated to consolidate diplomatic alliances, up to the future of the racehorse. The event is promoted by the Municipality of Castel Goffredo.
