Medole
Medole (Upper Mantovano: Médule) is a comune (municipality) is an Italian municipality of 4,122 inhabitants in the province of Mantua in Lombardy.
It is located in Alto Mantovano and is part of the Garda Community (an association of entities in the Lake Garda basin).
In 2016, the union of the municipalities of Medole, Ponti sul Mincio and Solferino called "Unione dei comuni Castelli Morenici" was formed.
The territory of Medole belongs to the subcolline area located at the foot of the heights bordering Lake Garda toward the Po Valley and is bordered to the northwest by Castiglione delle Stiviere, to the northeast by Solferino and Cavriana, to the east by Guidizzolo, to the south by Ceresara, and to the southwest by Castel Goffredo.
The town is about 30 km from Mantua, 35 km from Brescia, 55 km from Cremona, and 45 km from Verona.
The artifacts and inscriptions found suggest the existence of a settlement organized into institutions of Latin culture and language as early as the 1st century. The first nucleus of the town came into being in the present northeastern part of the settlement, where the present Romanesque Pieve stands, built around the 10th century, perhaps on the foundations of a Roman temple.
In an area adjacent to the Romanesque Pieve, in the 1980s, the remains of a large Roman villa were found, which, after the immediate constraint decided by the Ministero pe i beni culturali e abientali, is waiting to be brought to light.
The oldest document where Medole is mentioned is a deed dated May 31, 841, by which the bishop of Brescia Ramperto donated to the Benedictine Monks, whom he had brought from France, some properties in the countryside, including the House of San Vito.
