ポッツォ・ダダ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。

A beautiful stretch of the Martesana; it's a pleasure to stop for a coffee at the various cafés along the route.

The building, older than the current church of Saints Protaso and Gervaso of Gorgonzola (early 19th century, designed by Simone Cantoni), occupies a picturesque location between the sacred and the landscape. To the north, it overlooks the churchyard, while to the south, it follows the elegant bend of the Martesana Canal. Completely restored in 2006, it today retains its historical and architectural value.

Be careful on the steps when the ground is wet! This passage allows you to cross the right bank of the Muzza.

The church's current structure is largely the result of 20th-century reconstructions and expansions, although its origins date back to older religious buildings. It is the hub of the town's religious and community life. The building stands out for its modern architectural lines, typical of the reworking of traditional 20th-century styles, and for its imposing bell tower that marks its presence in the urban landscape.

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.
