Built shortly after the proclamation of the unification of Italy, the Cavour canal was used to draw water from the Po near Chivasso for the irrigation of cultivated fields and in particular rice paddies. 83 kilometers long, it ends in Ticino in Novara. Its banks are mostly accessible by bicycle on a dirt road.

Canal that starts from Chivasso and ends on the Ticino (Galliate)
Cycle path along the embankment for a good part, along the AIDA (upper Italy to cross) you pass along the canal from Chivasso for about ten km. and again shortly after Novara up to Ticino.
