The farmhouse housed a mill, called the "Mulino del Guado", and some rooms used as homes for the mill worker and the "navirolo" (driver of the river ferry) as well as a tavern. In 1969 the buildings, now reduced to ruins, were purchased by Daniele Oppi, a painter and advertiser who decided to restore them for his own atelier. The building hosted the so-called "Guad municipality", a meeting point for artists and men of culture.

Local history, taken from "Along the Naviglio Grande: municipalities, villas and historic buildings" by Francesca Rognoni.

Embark on a moderate mountain biking adventure along the Naviglio Grande and Canale Villoresi Loop, a route that spans 28.3 miles (45.6 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 352 feet (107 metres). You can expect to complete this scenic journey in approximately 2 hours and 27 minutes. As you pedal, you'll trace the historic waterways, moving through tranquil agricultural fields and past charming rural architecture, offering a refreshing escape into Lombardy's countryside.

This route is well-suited for mountain bikes, featuring a mix of asphalted cycle paths, well-beaten gravel, and some unpaved sections. While many parts are flat and accessible, the overall distance provides a good workout for riders with medium to high fitness levels. General parking is available conveniently near the starting point, and the trail is maintained for year-round enjoyment, allowing you to plan your ride whenever suits you best.

The trail offers a unique glimpse into the region's blend of natural beauty and historical engineering. You'll follow the paths of ancient canals, which once served as vital transport arteries, now providing a peaceful backdrop for your ride. Keep an eye out for the impressive Panperduto dam, a significant engineering marvel, and the serene stretches near the Ticino River, which occasionally offer distant views of the Alps.
