ファーラ・ジェーラ・ダッダのおすすめツーリングルート

マルテザーナ運河は、1496年にルドヴィコ・イル・モーロの指導の下で最終的に完成し、トレスッツォルダダからミラノまで全長38kmを流れています。 ルートは、ヴァプリオとカッサーノの2つの支流でアッダ川を渡っていた古代ローマ街道（現在のSS 11パダーナ・スペリオーレ）に沿っています。 湧き水の帯の上方に位置する土地の水供給は、長い間この運河の主な用途でした。そのため、当初は週に2日しか航行できませんでした。灌漑による農業構造の改善と同時に、バロック時代には、水上旅行の利便性を享受し、所有地の管理を目的とした壮大な邸宅の顕著な繁栄が見られました。

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.

villa also used for television series on weddings and events in general

For an even more spectacular view I recommend going to the pizza restaurant in the municipality of Vaprio d'Adda

Drinking fountains: a precious ally in these hot days
