Tips from the Community

Stenio Melani
June 22, 2026, Ciclabile del Canale Villoresi

The Villoresi canal draws water from the Ticino river, in the locality of Panperduto, in the municipality of Somma Lombardo. After traveling 86 kilometers, in the provinces of Milan and Monza Brianza, it flows into the Adda river in the municipality of Cassano d’Adda. Construction work began in 1881 and was completed in 1891 to a design by Eugenio Villoresi. Originally intended exclusively for irrigation purposes, following the crisis of crops connected with silk production, the canal now allows water distribution in a plain area of approximately 85,000 hectares, through a network that totals about 3,000 kilometers. The paths, free of difficulties, accessible to everyone and certainly of interest, are part of the investments made to enhance the towpaths of the waterways, and should also be considered a fast connection route between the various Municipalities bordering the canal.

Villa Arconati, located in Castellazzo di Bollate and nicknamed the "little Lombard Versailles", is one of the most majestic examples of a Baroque villa di delizia in Italy. The residence is entirely nestled in the green heart of the Parco delle Groane and the Brughiera Briantea, perfectly integrating art, monumental architecture, and nature.

The Villoresi Canal is a fundamental artificial canal in Lombardy, 86 kilometers long, positioning itself as the second longest artificial canal in Italy after the Emiliano Romagnolo Canal. Conceived by engineer Eugenio Villoresi in the mid-19th century and completed in 1890, the canal crosses the plain north of Milan, connecting the Ticino River to the Adda River. Its primary purpose is to irrigate the agricultural lands of the high Milanese Po Valley, historically transforming arid lands into fertile areas.

The Villoresi Canal cycle path runs through the Lombardy countryside, along the entire length of the Villoresi Canal, the historic waterway built for irrigation in the late 19th century by engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The canal draws water from the Ticino River near Somma Lombardo and, after an 86 km journey, returns it to the Adda River near Groppello.
