The best cycling routes around Zelo Buon Persico

The legend of the deaf-mute child is linked to the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Fontane, located in Casaletto Ceredano, in the province of Cremona (Lombardy). Tradition has it that before 1687, an eight-year-old deaf-mute boy named Abele got lost in the local marshes. The Madonna appeared to him, took care of him by making a fountain spring forth, and restored his hearing and speech.

Crossing point between Paullo and Tribiano, a small, little-visited village, 100% safe road

Any trail that winds through its vicinity is wonderful, a shame about the interruption between Zelo and Galgagnano of the path due to the hunting area, incidentally a beautiful place part of the ADDA sud Park but inexplicably in the hands of one or more private individuals who have made it their "hunting park" by fencing it all in. I happened to get inside by mistake, finding one of the numerous open gates and could no longer get out, finding the others closed, receiving a couple of shots in the air behind my back to make me understand that I was not welcome! A real shame because it interrupts the descent from Zelo towards Lodi along the Adda. Beyond the "hunting park" I believe that the passage along the river (state-owned area!!) SHOULD always be guaranteed without any ifs or buts!

The Adda River is the fourth longest watercourse in Italy with its 313 kilometers and is entirely within the Lombardy region. It represents one of the main left tributaries of the Po River and has a very large hydrographic basin that covers about a third of the regional territory

With these boulder waymarkers, you are always sure not to lose the track, and they are also beautiful

Trucazzano is located on the eastern border of the province of Milan, near the Adda river. The territory is crossed from north to south by the Muzza canal.

The church of San Giorgio, oriented east-west, faces the main street of the hamlet of Corneliano Bertario. The building has a gabled facade marked by four giant order pilasters, with a single central portal and four niches with statues on the sides. The bell tower rises on the left flank. Inside, the layout is a single nave with side chapels and a vaulted barrel ceiling. On the counter-facade is the structure of the large organ with a balcony supported by columns.

The Muzza Canal is the oldest in Europe, and this year its 800th anniversary was celebrated by the Municipality of Paullo in collaboration with the Pro Loco and other Municipalities. Its origin dates back to the year 1220, when Frederick II of Swabia, crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, issued an imperial edict granting the people of Lodi the right to use the waters flowing within their territory. The current route, about 60 km long, receives the waters of the Adda at Cassano d’Adda, at an altitude of 120 m above sea level, crosses the Lodi territory for about 40 km up to near Castiglione d’Adda, at an altitude of 45 m above sea level, and here it releases them back into the Adda. It has a regulated water regime, with a flow rate, depending on the season, of about 200,000 liters of water per second; an initial width of 50 meters which reduces to a few meters at the end of its course and an average depth of 2 meters.
