Tips

The place is very beautiful and characteristic and is also located near a fountain where you can get water. In addition, someone has set up a stand, minimalist but very useful, with some tools to fix your bike. If you need to recover energy, there is an ice cream shop next door. In short, a strategic point. Update to the last round of October 2024: the stand with the tools seems to be gone. The rest is as I left and described it.

The water wheel is located in the center of Groppello, a hamlet in the municipality of Cassano d'Adda, on the bank of the Naviglio della Martesana.

This large water wheel was built in Groppello by Carlo Borromeo, with the aim of raising water and channeling it to the gardens of the Villa Arcivescovile.

Even today it is popularly nicknamed "Rudun" and was restored and put back into operation in 2009, with only educational functions at that point.

Large wheel on the bank of the Naviglio Martesana, popularly called "rudun", was built by Cardinal Federico Borromeo in 1618 to raise the water from the canal and bring it to the kitchens of the palace as well as irrigating the vegetable gardens and gardens of the villa.
