'''Mostroferrato''' is a town in {{Dragon Quest V}}. It is home to the Briscoletti family and the location where the {{Hero 5}} gets [[Heavenly Bride|married]] during the second generation of the game as well as an important battle in the third generation.

 

Mostroferrato is a walled-city located on the southern end of the [[Zephyrus]] continent. The wealthy [[Briscoletti]] family resides here, being [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]], his unnamed wife, and their daughters {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}. The town is also home to the Burns family, of whom [[Crispin Burns|Crispin]] has taken a fancy to Nera.

The player is first directed to Mostroferrato by [[King Wilbur]] of [[Coburg]], who has sent his agents to look into any leads for the fabled [[Zenithian Equipment]] as his way of repaying the {{Hero 5}} for all he's done for his family and kingdom. Specifically, Wilbur will inform the {{Hero 5}} that one of his men has tracked for the {{Zenithian shield}} shortly before the events of [[Zoomingale]] have been wrapped up, and discovered that it is owned by the world famous [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]].

Arriving in town, the {{Hero 5}} runs into a dog that has escaped its leash with its master chasing after. The young lady is none other than [[Nera Briscoletti]], who is taken by the {{Hero 5}}'s good looks and bashfully thanks him before walking her dog home. As the {{Hero 5}} speaks to the townsfolk, he is informed that Rodrigo has announced that the time is right for his daughter to marry, and that his is accepting suitors. After speaking to the man himself, however, the {{Hero 5}} learns that the catch is that whomever will take {{Nera}}'s hand in marriage must first prove himself in determination and wits by retrieving the [[Circle of Fire]] and [[Circle of Water]]; two rings of incredible beauty hidden away in the depths of a [[Mount Magmageddon|an active volcano]] and a [[Cataract Caves|watery labyrinth]] respectively. The tall order causes most of the would-be grooms to drop out immediately, leaving only Crispin and the {{Hero 5}} to tackle the task.

When the two rings have been retrieved, Rodrigo will declare that the Hero is fit to marry {{Nera}}. However, {{Bianca}} will interject and leave the question of the {{Hero 5}}'s marriage up to the player's decision. In the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] versions, Debora will also state her interest in the {{Hero 5}}. Regardless of the player's decision, Rodrigo will state that he has been impressed by the {{Hero 5}}'s determination and cover the wedding expenses whether he marries one of his daughters or not, and bequeath the {{Zenithian shield}} as a wedding present and put the newlyweds up in his villa for the honeymoon.

Later on in the third generation, Rodrigo asks the {{Hero 5}} to inspect a large jar in a small shrine north of the town called [[The Pothold]]. It is glowing blood red, meaning that the monster sealed away by Rodrigo's ancestor, Rudolfo, several centuries ago is about to escape. Rodrigo warns the {{Hero 5}} of the danger the monster poses to the world and tells him to stall it at the tower he built just outside of the town, [[La Guardia]], while he assembles a group of soldiers. The monster, [[Bjørn the Behemoose]], is hellbent on revenge and battles the {{Hero 5}}'s {{Party 5}} as a warm up before killing the [[Briscoletti]] family. Upon his death, Bjørn drops the [[Ultimate Key]] and is sucked back into the jar. Regrouping with Rodrigo at his mansion, the man is overjoyed that the threat was eliminated and astonished at how powerful the {{Hero 5}} has become.

*2,000 [[gold]] coins (Available in a chest after the wedding)

*5,000 [[gold]] coins (Available from Mrs. Briscoletti in Generation 3 after defeating [[Bjørn the Behemoose]] if married to Nera or Debora)

The [[Briscoletti]] mansion is one of the places the {{Luminary}} can visit through the [[Echo Chamber]]. Here, the party discovers that all three brides have been turned into copies of Rodrigo while the {{Hero 5}} is out retrieving the wedding veil. Panicking, Rodrigo will plead for the Luminary to slay the monster responsible for the trickery before the groom arrives. The monster is lurking at {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}, and once killed the curse is ended. Afterwards, the {{Luminary}} can play out his own version of the marriage decision with the present cast.
