바프리오 다다 최고의 사이클링 경로

밀라노 및 베르가모 현 경계

사람이 많고 아름답고 매끄럽습니다

1496년 루도비코 일 모로의 지휘 아래 최종적으로 완성된 마르테사나 운하는 트레초 술다에서 밀라노까지 총 38km 길이에 걸쳐 흐릅니다. 이 경로는 아다 강을 바프리오와 카사노 두 곳에서 건너던 고대 로마 도로(현재의 SS 11 파다나 수페리오레)를 따라 이어집니다. 샘 지대 위쪽에 위치한 땅의 관개는 오랫동안 이 운하의 주요 용도였으며, 초기에는 항해가 주 2일로 제한되었습니다. 관개를 통한 농업 구조 개선과 동시에 바로크 시대에는 수상 교통의 편리함을 누리고 소유지를 통제하기 위해 수많은 화려한 빌라가 건설되었습니다.

In Groppello d'Adda, along the Martesana Canal, there is a large waterwheel called "el rudun." It is not a mill, but a noria that was used to raise water for irrigation. It was built in 1618 at the behest of Cardinal Federico Borromeo. It was used to irrigate the vegetable gardens and gardens of the Archbishop's Villa. Tradition attributes the design to Leonardo da Vinci. The water also fed kitchens, washhouses, and livestock watering troughs. The original wheel was dismantled in the late 19th century. The current one is a 1989 reconstruction, restored several times. It has a diameter of 11 meters and eight large blades. Today, it is a historical and educational symbol that tells the story of the area's past.

Iconic cycleable asphalt ramp leading to the Castle

Majestic, it appears at first glance to be undeniably original, lacking the essential features of Lombard castles: no battlements, a single tower, no bastions, no moat. This singular aesthetic appearance is nothing more than the result of a millennia-long history of renovations and abandonment!

Surroundings of Cassano d'Adda

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.
