Panperduto Dam — Start of the Villoresi Canal

Highlight • Monument

The Villoresi canal: It originates here from the Panperduto dam in the Maddalena area (Somma Lombardo), a hamlet of Somma Lombardo, and flows into the Adda river or, alternatively, into the Martesana canal near Cassano d'Adda at the end of a long route 86 km which qualifies it as the second longest artificial waterway in Italy, after the Emiliano Romagnolo canal and in front of the Cavour canal.
The canal, which runs horizontally from west to east, in the upper plain of Milan, was completed in 1890.

The Industrial Canal: also known as the Vizzola canal, is an artificial watercourse that derives its waters from the Ticino river, through the Panperduto dam near Somma Lombardo, where the waters of the Villoresi canal are also derived[1]. The canal was inaugurated in 1900, with the name of "Vittorio Emanuele III industrial canal", its construction was due to the production of hydroelectric energy. In fact, the industrial canal drives the turbines of three hydroelectric power plants: the Vizzola power plant, the Tornavento power plant and the Castelli di Turbigo power plant. Just beyond this facility the canal branches into 3 channels: on the left most of the water (64 m³/s in summer, 35 m³/s in winter) flows into the Naviglio Grande, which receives its effective flow here; [2] in the centre, however, the Turbighetto discharger originates, having a flow rate of approximately 50 m³/s. This flows into the Ticino, after having activated the turbines of a fourth hydroelectric power plant: the Turbigo Inferiore power plant. The regression channel originates on the right. This third branch flows into the Ticino in the Casa delle Barche area. Through a gravel dam on the Ticino its waters are conveyed into the Langosco canal, activating the Varzi hydroelectric power plant.

Castelletto Bridge on the Naviglio Grande

Truly pleasant places, even more beautiful in spring when the canals overflow with water. When, on the other hand, they are unloaded or dry, they are quite negligible places.

This route is beautiful, flat for a long time, it mostly follows the Naviglio Grande, later the Canale Industriale, to the large Ticino dam at the outflow of Lake Maggiore. The day was still super hard because of the very high temperature 😓
