로다노 최고의 사이클링 경로

Muzza 운하는 12-13세기에 건설된 중요한 수로 시설로, Cassano d'Adda에서 Adda 강에서 갈라져 Castiglione d'Adda까지 약 39km 뻗어 있습니다. 유럽에서 가장 오래되고 큰 관개 수로 중 하나이며, Lodi 지역 농업에 필수적이며 현재는 자전거 도로도 함께 조성되어 있습니다.

San Biagio의 작은 교회는 로디 고지대의 시골 지역에 거의 묻혀 있는 시골 마을의 맥락에서 독특한 위치를 차지하고 있습니다. 전체 단지는 브라만테의 리허설로 간주될 수 있습니다. 당시로서는 절대적으로 혁신적인 구조물들은 건축가의 전형적인 공학 지식을 보여줍니다. 성 비아지오(세바스테의 주교이자 순교자)에게 헌정된 기도실은 세 개의 후진이 있는 평행육면체 하부와 둥근 창문 한 줄과 맹인 직사각형 창문 한 줄이 있는 팔각형 상부로 구성되어 있습니다. 종탑 역할을 하는 낮은 탑이 이를 완성합니다. 전체 단지는 테라코타로 만들어졌으며 고전 르네상스의 우아함과 비례감을 유지하고 있습니다.

Well-kept and quiet place

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.

The road owes its name to Duke Gabrio Servelloni, who purchased it from the Counts of Adda in 1760 to facilitate travel within his estates. This interpodal road, which follows the route of an ancient Roman centuriation, became a very important refuge during World War II. Surrounded by centuries-old trees and thick hedges, it was invisible to enemy aircraft, which dropped illuminating bombs at night to identify movements and potential targets. It is a mostly unpaved road that can only be traveled on foot or by bicycle and connects the municipalities of Rodano, Settala, and Pantigliate. Along the route, several active farms are still located in the Cascine di Cassinetta, Paradiso, Crocina, and Castello farms. This last farmhouse houses a museum of rural civilization. People came from the farms and neighboring villages such as Limito, Pobbiano, Trenzanesio, and Pioltello, which, being close to the Milan-Brescia railway line, were under constant bombardment from bombs dropped on the Segrate marshland and along the entire length of the railway. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the water system that had led to the reclamation of the Lombard plain was largely abandoned, returning this area to a marshy state. But already around the year 1000, the Cistercian monks, and later the Benedictine and Humiliati monks, restored and expanded the works built by the Romans, creating the current irrigation system that includes the Navigli and the Muzza canals—built between 1100 and 1400—and which was practically completed at the end of the 19th century with the opening of the Villoresi canal. The artefacts present in the area and visible along the “Strada del Duca” route can be dated from the 17th to the 19th century, the period in which the last brick and granite masonry works date back.

Like at the seaside, but at the Idroscalo

Beautiful cycle path even if the surface has been redone in some places: too many rocks/gravel

From whatever direction you arrive, this very particular construction always strikes you.
