Nice gravel ride, from Gessate to Cremona. 95% on paved cycle paths and dirt road in the woods along the Adda. The first stretch from Cassano to Lodi is very nice, all in the woods, several single tracks with tall grass or "cycle path" but with a dirt surface. The river is almost always nearby. From Lodi to Cremona all on paved cycle path, elevated on cultivated fields and more exposed to the wind. Stops in Lodi, Pizzighettone and Cremona for visits. Return by train.

The Visconti castle is the very emblem of Trezzo sull'Adda. It stands on a promontory surrounded by the river, a strategic position already intuited centuries earlier by the Lombards and has become increasingly important over the centuries. Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, built his fortress here in the 12th century. Bernabò Visconti died here on 19 December 1385 after imprisonment, poisoned with a plate of beans by his nephew Gian Galeazzo, who aspired to power.

The place is very beautiful and characteristic and is also located near a fountain where you can get water. In addition, someone has set up a stand, minimalist but very useful, with some tools to fix your bike. If you need to recover energy, there is an ice cream shop next door. In short, a strategic point. Update to the last round of October 2024: the stand with the tools seems to be gone. The rest is as I left and described it.

From the 11th to the 16th century, other fortifications were added and the complex became a valuable outpost of the Duchy of Milan. In the second half of the twelfth century Frederick Barbarossa expanded the fortress and used it as one of his residences. In the fourteenth century Barnabò Visconti, lord of Milan, took the fortress from the Torriani and rebuilt it in 1370. It is in this new fourteenth-century guise that it has come to us. During the Spanish domination of Lombardy (16th and 17th centuries) the fortress was used as a prison, and then fell into a period of neglect. Since 1805, the manor has been used as a quarry for already squared materials for the civic arena of Milan and some Monza appurtenances of the royal villa. Only in the middle of the century did the owner Giovanna Borghi suspend dismantling at the Trezzo castle, restoring the climb to the tower. In 1891 the fortress was purchased by Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, owner of the Crespi d'Adda cotton mill. The castle is currently owned by the Municipality of Trezzo sull'Adda.

According to tradition, it was built in the early Middle Ages by Queen Teodolinda, queen of the Lombards (between the 6th and 7th centuries). Barnabò Visconti was locked up there until his death by his nephew Gian Galeazzo, who had ousted him. The castle underwent a serious period of decline in the nineteenth century, when it was even transformed into a quarry for already squared building materials. It is currently used as a backdrop for open-air cultural and artistic events.

To be precise, the hydroelectric plant is called TACCANI (Treccani is the encyclopaedia) from the name of the designer. Alessandro Taccani (1876-1947) was a young graduate in industrial engineering from the Istituto Tecnico Superiore in Milan, when Cristoforo Benigno Crespi involved him to build his hydroelectric plant along the Adda. A great officer and knight of labour, the engineer Taccani was president of the consortium for the alienation of electrical materials left over from the war (1920-1924) and was commissioner for Italy at the Basel exhibition (1926). Taccani disappeared on 8 July 1947 at the Gavazzeni clinic in Bergamo.
