セスト・カレンデのおすすめランニングルート

セスト・カレンデのティチーノ川沿いの散策は、マッジョーレ湖が狭まりティチーノ川が生まれるまさにその地点に位置する、ロンバルディアで最も印象的で愛されているサイクリング・歩行者用道路の一つです。主なルートは、歴史的なVia Alzaiaに沿って展開されており、平坦で誰にでも（家族連れ、ベビーカー、ペット連れ）適しており、ティチーノ公園の自然に完全に浸ることができます。

the view is always fascinating!

Stop for a few minutes to enjoy the view...truly relaxing!

It was a late 19th-century engineer, Eugenio Villoresi, son of the director of the gardens of Villa Reale in Monza, who envisioned extending the irrigation of the fields upstream from this imaginary line. He therefore designed a long canal connecting Lake Maggiore to the Adda River, using its waters to distribute, for a fee, to all the fields between the canal and the fountain line. Obtaining the government concession and securing the project's financing was certainly no easy feat; Villoresi did not see its completion, which took place in 1890, 11 years after his death.

More historical facts: From the seaplane base, in September 1920, Umberto Maddalena set the record for the longest raid conducted by seaplanes, flying from Sant'Anna to Helsinki in a Savoia-Marchetti S.16 seaplane. In 1925, Francesco De Pinedo and engineer Ernesto Campanelli flew 370 hours, covering 55,000 kilometres from Sant'Anna to Melbourne, Tokyo and finally Rome, with the Savoia-Marchetti S.16 seaplane, better known as the Gennariello.

It's a bit of a search, as it's barely visible from the shore: the jetty that once served as a landing pad for seaplanes. That's why it's so high. The jetty was part of the former Società Idrovolanti Alta Italia seaplane base, founded in 1915. Here, Savoia-Marchetti manufactured seaplanes, the most famous of which was the Savoia-Marchetti S.55. This aircraft made transatlantic flights in 1930, 1931, and 1933. Only one example remains, and it's in a museum in Brazil.

Beautiful cycle path along the Ticino with panoramic views of Sesto Calende and the Alps. Be careful of the many pedestrians.

exactly from here begins the long route of the Naviglio and Villoresi canals from the Ticino river basin regulated by the splendid Panperduto dam.
