アグラーテ・ブリアンザ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

Naviglio della Martesanaは、当初Naviglio Piccoloとして知られており、ミラノとマルテザーナの自治体を通じてアッダ川の流れを結ぶミラノの運河の1つです。15世紀にフランチェスコ・スフォルツァによって命じられ、農地の灌漑に使用されましたが、ミラノとコモ湖、そしてアルプスとティチーノを結ぶという野心的なプロジェクトでもありました。Naviglio della Martesanaは、歴史と美しさに満ちた場所であり、すべての人々の遺産ですが、今日ではまだあまり知られておらず、保護されていません。運河沿いには、豊かな植物相、動物相、またはヴァプリオ・ダッダにあるルネサンス様式のヴィラ・メルツィ・デリルなどの多くの歴史的なヴィラといった景観と文化の美しさを鑑賞できる、かなり人気のあるサイクリングロードがあります。

In the center of town, on the right bank of the Martesana Canal, stands an imposing waterwheel (popularly known as a rudun) said to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself. Despite appearances, the wheel is not a mill, but a noria. Its function, in fact, was never to grind grain or power machinery, but rather to lift water from the canal to channel it into an irrigation system.

We are in Groppello, a hamlet in the municipality of Cassano d'Adda, and we must go back in time to 1618, when Cardinal Federico Borromeo commissioned this large wheel to convey the water needed to irrigate the vegetable gardens and gardens of the Archbishop's Villa. It is said that this majestic work, at the Cardinal's request, was designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself. Which, if anything, adds to its charm.

iconic climb of the Agostoni Cup

A visit to the monument in Piazza Camerlata is worthwhile; otherwise, the descent from Cantù towards Como is nothing special.

The 700 hectares of the Monza Park are strongly marked by the presence of the Lambro: a resource primarily for fishing and a determining factor in the local flora, the river also became the protagonist of the artistic embellishment of the area. Thanks to precise canalizations, it was possible to build eclectic nineteenth-century mills and create picturesque water features in the gardens of the Villa Reale between the end of the 18th and 19th centuries.
