ITALIANO

Gli edifici più antichi, affacciati su piazza Sordello, sono il palazzo del Capitano e la Magna Domus, fondati dalla famiglia Bonacolsi, che domina Mantova dal 1273 al 1328. Con l'insediamento della signoria gonzaghesca nuove fabbriche si aggregano al nucleo originario e formano la Corte Vecchia. In un vasto ambiente di origine trecentesca Pisanello affresca per Gianfrancesco, in occasione della sua nomina a marchese (1433), il ciclo cavalleresco recuperato nel secolo scorso. Tra il 1395 e il 1406 su progetto di Bartolino da Novara è edificato il Castello di San Giorgio che dalla metà del XV secolo diventa per volere di Ludovico II Gonzaga la residenza della famiglia marchionale. Nella torre nord-est Andrea Mantegna affresca dal 1465 al 1474 la celebre camera picta, o Camera degli Sposi; al piano nobile si trovano anche il primo Studiolo e la prima Grotta di Isabella d'Este, consorte di Francesco II.

ENGLISH

The Palazzo Ducale di Mantova ("Ducal Palace") is a group of buildings in Mantua, Lombardy, northern Italy, built between the 14th and the 17th century mainly by the noble family of Gonzaga as their royal residence in the capital of their Duchy. The buildings are connected by corridors and galleries and are enriched by inner courts and wide gardens. The complex includes some 500 rooms and occupies an area of c. 34,000 m². Although most famous for Mantegna's frescos in the Camera degli Sposi (Wedding Room), they have many other very significant architectural and painted elements.

The Gonzaga family lived in the palace from 1328 to 1707, when the dynasty died out. Subsequently, the buildings saw a sharp decline, which was halted in the 20th century with a continuing process of restoration and the designation of the area as museum. In 1998, a hidden room was discovered by Palace scholars, led by musicologist Paula Bezzutti. The room is thought to have been used for performances of Monteverdi's music in the late 16th century.

DEUTSCH

Der Palazzo Ducale ist ein Gebäudekomplex des 14. bis 17. Jahrhunderts in Mantua (Lombardei), überwiegend von der Familie der Gonzaga als ihr Herrschaftssitz errichtet. Die Gebäude sind durch Korridore und Galerien verbunden und durch ihre inneren Höfe und Gärten aufgewertet. Das Ensemble umfasst etwa 500 Räume auf ca. 34,000 m² Fläche. Besonders berühmt ist der Palast wegen Mantegnas Fresken in der Camera degli Sposi (Hochzeitszimmer), aber auch für viele weitere architektonische und künstlerische Ausstattungen.
