L'Alzaia del Naviglio di Bereguardo is the historic towpath, today transformed into a splendid cycle-pedestrian path of about 19 kilometers, which runs along the artificial canal of the same name. It connects Castelletto di Abbiategrasso (where the canal originates, branching off from the Naviglio Grande) to the municipality of Bereguardo, finally flowing into the Ticino river. Built in the 15th century at the behest of the Dukes of Milan (the Visconti first, then the Sforza), the canal served as a fundamental commercial route (particularly for salt and cheeses) to connect the city to the Po river and the sea.

The unique name "Panperduto" derives mainly from the local dialect and ancient stories related to river navigation before the construction of the dam. In the past, commercial barges carrying goods or stones often collided with the rapids and rocky riverbeds of this stretch of the river, ending up capsizing and losing their entire cargo. This meant the loss of the entire day's work and the earnings needed to buy food, hence the saying "we lost the bread" (hence Panperduto).

La Diga del Panperduto (or rather, the Dighe del Panperduto) is one of Lombardy's most important and fascinating hydraulic junctions, located on the Ticino river in the municipality of Somma Lombardo, in the province of Varese. This monumental complex of hydraulic engineering dates back to the late 19th century (inaugurated in 1884) and mainly serves to divert the waters of the Ticino to feed two fundamental artificial canals: Villoresi Canal: used for irrigation purposes, guaranteeing water for over 100,000 hectares of agricultural land in the Po Valley. Industrial Canal: fundamental for the production of hydroelectric energy through various power plants in the area.
