    The Pietro Vacchelli canal, formerly Canale Marzano from the locality where the water intake from the Adda river is located, flows from west to east in the Middle Lombardy Plain and constitutes the largest hydraulic work for irrigation in the territory of the province of Cremona. Built by the Cremonesi Irrigazioni Consortium between 1887 and 1892, on the proposal of the engineer. Pietro Vacchelli (whose name he took after his death in 1913), with the aim of resolving the serious agricultural crisis of the second half of the 19th century caused by backward cultivation systems.

    It, in an almost exclusively straight path, transports 38.5 cubic meters of water per second up to the locality "Tombe Morte", in the Municipality of Genivolta, where its waters join those derived from the Oglio river.

      The bottom of the road that runs along the Vacchelli canal is typical for gravel

      The numerous stone bridges are suggestive.

        Beautiful stretch that connects the Adda and Oglio rivers passing over the Serio
