In 1822, Maria Luisa di Borbone, Duchess of Lucca, decided on the construction of the aqueduct and entrusted the supervision of the works to the Royal Architect Lorenzo Nottolini (hence the name of the work)

Description
In ancient times, Lucca had an underground aqueduct that fed some springs inside the walls of Lucca from the Moriano area. If you have enough water to drink, you want to know if there are any hygiene 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 going.
It was only in 1822 that Maria Luisa di Borbone, Duchess of Lucca, decided to build the aqueduct and entrusted 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, that 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 scope is monumental.
