Article History

Montagnana, town, Veneto regione, northern Italy, located about 45 miles (72 km) north of Bologna and about 23 miles (37 km) southwest of Padua.

Montagnana is best known for its outstanding medieval town walls, including 24 polygonal towers and 4 gates, 2 of which are fortified and look much like castles. The town also has a Gothic Duomo (1431–1502), with one of its portals attributed to Andrea Sansovino. Michele Sanmicheli designed the Palazzo del Municipio (1550, restored in the 17th century) and Andrea Palladio the Palazzo Pisani (1565). The 15th-century Church of San Francesco is also notable.

Manufacturing provides the economic base for the modern town. Pop. (2006 est.) mun., 9,471.
