Neoclassical monument to poet Virgil set on a leafy piazza beside Mantua’s lakes. Shoot the statue with reflections in the adjacent water, framed by plane trees and classical railings; golden hour and blue hour add mood. Easy pedestrian access, parking nearby; best on weekdays to avoid tourists. No entry fee. Look for seasonal mist over the lake in cooler months and vibrant foliage in autumn.
