Canal built to support agriculture and rice fields, it was commissioned by Count Camillo Benso di Cavour

A not very long climb with sections in double figures. Very few cars pass by and this is very relaxing.

the church of the most holy name of Mary belonged to the complex of the Lucedio Abbey. today it is abandoned and it is not possible to enter. on the side there is a window from which I took some photos of the interior. Be very careful in summer because I noticed that on the side of the church there is a large nest of wasps or hornets, I can't tell because it is really very high up. the photos you see were taken at the end of February.

Beautiful, very large. In excellent condition as it is used

Built shortly after the proclamation of the unification of Italy, the Cavour canal was used to draw water from the Po near Chivasso for the irrigation of cultivated fields and in particular rice paddies. 83 kilometers long, it ends in Ticino in Novara. Its banks are mostly accessible by bicycle on a dirt road.

Canal that starts from Chivasso and ends on the Ticino (Galliate) Cycle path along the embankment for a good part, along the AIDA (upper Italy to cross) you pass along the canal from Chivasso for about ten km. and again shortly after Novara up to Ticino.

It was founded in 1123 by Cistercian monks from Burgundy who reclaimed the territory, being the first to introduce the cultivation of rice into Italy in the mid-1400s. The Principality of Lucedio can be visited by the public, according to the calendar indicated on the "Visit Lucedio" https: //www.principatodilucedio.it/it/
