Po Valley Agriculture
The lowland plain that surrounds Mantua on three sides is among the most fertile land in Italy, and we have made systematic investment in its management the foundation of our domestic economy — draining marshes, expanding irrigation channels, and regulating the reclamation of new land at the margins of the lakes that define our geography. The result is an agricultural capacity that grows reliably each generation, supplying our city with food surpluses that sustain a population larger than our politics alone would justify. This patient cultivation of the Pianüra Padâna (Pianura Padana in standard Italian: the Po Plain) ensures that our subjects eat well in difficult years and that our treasury collects the taxes of a prosperous countryside.
