The Scali d'Azeglio are the final stretch of the Fosso Reale, where it flows into the Darsena. The Fosso Reale, in Buontalenti's sixteenth-century project, surrounded the "pentagon" of the original Medici city and was connected to the network of minor canals which - particularly in the "Venice of the New" - had the task of draining stagnant and malarial waters. Furthermore, thanks to the connection with the Arno via the Canale dei Navicelli, these waterways guaranteed an efficient communication system for commercial transport between the port and the city's warehouses.
