A bridge to cross on a mountain bike! I tried on a racing bike, but better not!

Little traffic, always in the shade and therefore often muddy, but it is a small oasis of pleasant nature

Just be careful about the distances: the Canale Villoresi cycle path, which runs alongside the canal, is 85 kilometers long. It begins near the town of Somma Lombardo and ends near Cassano d'Adda, so unless you're very fit, we recommend doing it in stages! Along the way, the path has short sections where it merges with city streets.

It's an easy, flat cycling route, accessible to all types of bicycles and suitable for families with children. It's an ideal place for a day trip, allowing you to explore the area's rich natural and scenic beauty, cycling through cultivated fields, parks, and woods. There are several detours to explore the architectural beauty of the many towns along the canal, or to continue along the other cycle paths the canal crosses.

The Villoresi Canal cycle path traverses the Lombardy countryside, following the entire length of the Villoresi Canal, the historic waterway built for irrigation in the late 19th century by engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The canal draws water from the Ticino River near Somma Lombardo and, after an 86 km journey, returns it to the Adda River near Groppello.

The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Carate Brianza is located in the hamlet of Agliate: this is why it is known as the Basilica of Agliate. Dating back to the early 11th century, it is a Romanesque basilica, attributable to the Ottonian architectural tradition (Ottonian art is that which extends from 887, the beginning of the Ottonian dynasty, to the year 1000). The walls are constructed of river pebbles and ashlars, bound with mortar. The façade is salient and reflects the three-nave structure, each with an entrance door. The central nave is raised above the side naves.

Be careful when it's humid or raining: the bridge becomes slippery!
