One of northern Italy's most beautiful and ancient towns is Borghetto, on the Mincio River.

Archaeological digs have discovered tombs from the 9th century BC, a stunning testament to the history of this peaceful town.

Historically, the town was very important as one of the key fords across the river, and as such was highly desired by feuding armies.

The old defensive river tower can still be seen guarding the bridge into Borghetto.

Besides the tower, the town has many buildings that still stand from its ancient era.

Between the beautiful Mincio and the green countryside, Borghetto is a town of pristine beauty.
