The Nottolini aqueduct is an aqueduct in "Roman" style, located in Lucca in front of the door of the designer Lorenzo Nottolini in Lucca.

Description

In ancient times, there was an underground aqueduct in Lucca, which from the Moriano area fed some sources within the walls of Lucca. If you have enough water to drink water, you want to know if there are any hygienic problems that prevent you from drinking water. In fact, the water from the wells was often scarce and unhealthy because it stagnated. In 1732 Giuseppe Natalini died in the waters of the Badia di Cantignano, but in 1763 we were immersed in Mons. However, the work never really got underway.

It was not until 1822 that Maria Luisa di Borbone, Duchess of Lucca, decided to build the aqueduct, entrusting the royal architect Lorenzo Nottolini with this task. The works began in 1823 and were divided until 1851 due to some decisions.

To this day, the aqueduct is still architecturally intact (except for the section where the A11 motorway runs through), but it is no longer used as a water supply.

The current extent is monumental.

The Nottolini aqueduct is not Roman. It is more recent.
