The hydraulic junction of the Tombe Morte-Tredici Ponti constitutes the most important concentration of artificial waterways in the province of Cremona, irrigating approximately 85,000 hectares of countryside. Here the Naviglio Civico di Cremona, the Naviglio Grande Pallavicino and the Canale Vacchelli intersect, the latter pouring almost all of its flow into the Naviglio Pallavicino, the Naviglio Civico and a dozen irrigation ditches through an impressive system of locks. Finally, a spillway, built between 1968 and 1981, detaches from the junction, which discharges any excess flow from the Naviglio Civico, the Naviglio Pallavicino and the Vacchelli into the Oglio river. Two different hypotheses have been made regarding the origin of the name, the first would originate from the term tomba which is synonymous with siphon, a hydraulic element that connects two conduits. Probably some of these artifacts would have fallen into disuse, hence the adjective death. Another hypothesis is linked to the discovery of several dozen burials dating back to the late Roman era.

The intersection of these channels is very suggestive

The Naviglio Pallavicino, a historic canal in the Cremona irrigation network, crosses the agricultural landscape with its waterways and bridges. A place where history and nature meet, offering a fascinating journey through fields and ancient villages.

The Dead Tombs (also known as Le Formose) are an important hydraulic node located in the municipal area of Genivolta

The perfect town to indulge in a little refreshing break while admiring this beautiful village.

The perfect place to take a quiet walk along the canal.

this park is the perfect place where children can have fun, the right place to take a break.

I report, for information purposes, what little I read to contextualize my visit and try to explain such a concentration of water and water exchanges. (from Wikipedia) "[...] The Dead Tombs (also known as Le Formose) are an important hydraulic node located in the municipal area of Genivolta, in the central-northern sector of the province of Cremona. In a space of a few hundred square meters, three waterways of a certain importance intersect (Naviglio Civico di Cremona, Naviglio Grande Pallavicino and Canale Vacchelli). While the two canals do not exchange their waters except to a minimal extent, the Vacchelli Canal pours almost all of its flow into the Naviglio Pallavicino, the Naviglio Civico and a dozen smaller canals, via a notable system of locks. Finally, a drainage vessel, built between 1968 and 1981, detaches from the node, which discharges any excess flow of the Naviglio Civico, the Naviglio Pallavicino and the Vacchelli into Oglio. The reason why so many important watercourses meet precisely in this place is to be found in the morphological characteristics of this strip of the Po Valley. The Crema area is crossed by a relict river valley, called the Morbasco valley or Navigli valley. This valley has its head in the strip of territory between Romanengo and Soncino and can be precisely identified up to a few kilometers south of Soresina. This depression, whose bottom is located about ten meters lower than the fundamental level of the plain, was in ancient times the natural location of a still existing watercourse, the Morbasco, and currently hosts the riverbeds of the Naviglio Civico di Cremona and the Naviglio Grande Pallavicino. At the Dead Tombs there is a narrowing of this valley, which forces the waterways to come closer and then meet, and then separate again as the furrow widens again [...]"
