Castiglione delle Stiviere is a town and comune in the Province of Mantua, in Lombardy, Italy, 30 km northwest of Mantua by road.
During the War of the Spanish Succession, the French under the duc de Vendôme occupied it. In 1706, in the first Battle of Castiglione a French army under Jacques Eléonor Rouxel de Grancey defeated here a Hessian army led by Frederick I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel.
It has an old castle, much altered and restored, especially by the Gonzaga family of Mantua in the 16th century.
Castiglione is the birth place of the International Red Cross, which was established by Henri Dunant during the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in 1859. There is a museum in the center of the town dedicated to the IRC.
