The Naviglio Grande in Turbigo represents the operational starting point of the oldest navigable canal in Europe. Although the waters are historically diverted from the Ticino river at Tornavento, it is precisely in Turbigo that the watercourse becomes the continuation of the Industrial Canal and enters the heart of its 50-kilometer route towards the Darsena of Milan.

The Villoresi Canal begins at the Panperduto Dam, a historic and imposing hydraulic junction located in the municipality of Somma Lombardo (VA), where the canal draws its waters from the Ticino river.

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.

The cycle path along the Ticino river offers a fascinating naturalistic and historical route, extending mainly from Sesto Calende (VA) to Pavia, for about 100-120 km within the Ticino Park. It is an ideal destination for cycle tourism, also connected to the Naviglio Grande towards Milan and to routes like the Ciclovia Vento.
