Famous water wheel of Groppello d'Adda built around 1600 and probably designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The locals affectionately call it 'el rudun', that is, the big wheel.

"At the center of the village, on the right bank of the Naviglio Martesana, there is an imposing water wheel (popularly called rudun) which is said to have been designed by Leonardo Da Vinci himself. Despite appearances, the wheel is not a mill, but in fact, its function has never been to grind cereals or move machinery, but to raise the water of the canal in order to convey it to an irrigation system.

The noria of Groppello d'Adda.
At the center of the village, on the right bank of the Naviglio Martesana, there is an imposing water wheel (popularly called rudun) which is said to have been designed by Leonardo Da Vinci himself. Despite appearances, the wheel is not a mill, but a noria.

In fact, its function was never to grind cereals or move machinery, but to raise the water of the canal in order to convey it to an irrigation system. (it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groppello_d%27Adda)
