It originates from the River Ticino near the village of Somma Lombardo, and runs eastwards for 86 kilometres (53 mi) to the Adda River.
Construction began in 1877, but Villoresi himself died two years later. The works were completed in 1890 by a consortium.
Irrigation was the canal's main reason for being but the addition of locks enabled cargoes of sand to be carried along it.
