The Canale Cavour is an impressive artificial canal in Italy, stretching for almost 83 kilometers. It starts in Chivasso, in the province of Turin, where you can visit, on request, the imposing intake that takes water from the River Po. The inlet, 40 meters wide at the base, is completely paved with cobblestones, concrete and stone slabs. The canal, named after Camillo Benso di Cavour, runs through the beautiful landscape of the Piedmont region. It plays a crucial role in agriculture, especially rice cultivation, and provides essential water supplies through the Dora Baltea in summer.
