Buscoldo
Buscoldo
Buscoldo is a lively hamlet in the town of Curtatone, immersed in the green Mantuan plain. With its approximately 2,300 inhabitants, it is the beating heart of the territory, rich in history and tradition. Its roots go back to ancient times, as evidenced by Neolithic and Roman finds found nearby. The village developed around the 'castrum Buscoldi', an ancient castle that was part of a complex medieval defensive system known as 'Serraglio'. Buscoldo is a place where past and present coexist harmoniously, offering an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. Its parish church dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist, with the beautiful baroque decorations of the Swiss plasterer Giovanni Battista Staffieri, is the symbol of its religious and cultural identity.
