Pallacanestro Mantovana, known for sponsorship reasons as Dinamica Mantova, is an Italian professional basketball team based in Mantua, Lombardy.[1] Founded in 2004, the side plays in the second division Serie A2 as of the 2015–16 season.

The team is also known as Stings Mantova, because the bee is its historic corporate symbol.
