    The Naviglio is an artificial canal that carries the waters of the Dora Baltea from the center of Ivrea to the rice fields of the Vercelli area. It was built in the 15th century. for irrigation and navigation purposes. The project is attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci: next to the autograph drawing there is the caption: "navilio dinvrea made by the Doira river [...] reverse mountains in its forest part produces towards the north".
