The Naviglio della Martesana, definitively completed in 1496 under the guidance of Ludovico il Moro, flows from Trezzo sull’Adda to Milan for a total length of 38 km. The route runs alongside the ancient Roman road (the current SS 11 padana superiore) which crossed the Adda with two branches: at Vaprio and at Cassano. The irrigation of the lands located above the spring belt was for a long time the prevalent use of the canal, so much so that initially navigation was limited to two days a week; concurrently with the improvement of the agrarian structure thanks to irrigation, a notable flourishing of stately villas emerged in the Baroque era, aimed at enjoying the convenience of travel on water and controlling the lands of property.
