a town of Austrian Italy, in the province of Mantua, stands at the foot of the Lago di Garda, where the Mincio, here crossed by a bridge, issues from the lake, 20 miles N. of Mantua. It is fortified, and defended by a small but strong Venetian citadel. There are here two churches and a custom-house. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in fishing. In 1848 the town surrendered, after an obstinate resistance, to the Sardinian army under Charles Albert. Pop. about 2500.
