Towpath of the Villoresi Canal
Highlight • Cycleway
The Villoresi canal is quite old, it is more than 100 years old. It originates from the Panperduto dam in Somma Lombardo (VA) and, after 90 km, flows into the Adda river and then resumes its course and reaches the Po' river where its course ends.
Thanks to this canal, since the end of the 19th century, the Po Valley has become an expanse of crops of all kinds from rice paddies to corn fields.
Furthermore, a few years ago, the water from this canal was used to animate the water games during the Expo including the famous Tree of Life that we all know.
For all this organization we must thank the work of the East Ticino Villoresi Reclamation Consortium which provides maintenance of the canal every year.
For info below you will find the link to the first interview conducted by Legnano Web TV with some members of the Consortium
