The plant, built in 1904 in Art Nouveau style, is located in the municipality of Vigevano in the province of Pavia, within the Ticino Park. Situated on the right bank of the Ticino River, it uses part of the river's waters, channeled into the loading basin via the Naviglio Sforzesco, the artificial canal that flows between the provinces of Novara and Pavia, built in the late 15th century at the behest of Ludovico Maria Sforza, known as "Il Moro." From here, passing through conduits and exploiting the 18-meter difference in height between the loading and discharge channels, the water powers the turbines.

Vigevano's historic charm is further enhanced by the imposing Visconti Sforzesco Castle, whose over 70,000 square meters make it one of the largest fortified castles in Europe. Its gardens and the diverse uses of its rooms, including an international shoe museum, are silent witnesses to a glorious past.

The "Ludovico il Moro" hydroelectric power station in Vigevano, begun in 1904 and commissioned two years later, is a magnificent Art Nouveau building with capitals, friezes, and curious downpipes in the shape of a dragon's head.

A somewhat dark church but rich in history

Place of cultural, historical, architectural and tourist interest Via del Castello, 5, 27023 Villanova PV

Small, very quiet hamlet, characterised by an ancient castle!

Nice little ride from Gravellona…. The pedestrian path that runs along the Naviglio is a pleasure
