Corporate Excursion: Istituto Giordano Discovers Mantua

A day dedicated to exploring the wonders of Mantua provided a chance to spend quality time with colleagues in a new environment, strengthening connections and deepening appreciation for teamwork and open dialogue.

The excursion began with a visit to Palazzo Te, a Renaissance masterpiece adorned with frescoes, intricate decorative details, and striking optical illusions. This was followed by an exhibition dedicated to Picasso, offering the unique opportunity to admire some of the artist’s remarkable works.
