Old Water Tower of Vizzola Ticino

Highlight • Monument

Small village located on the main cycling route of the Ticino Valley. The cycleway itself is varied from great asphalt to pizza and pothole type surface, depending on where one is on the route. Italy could have such a great cycleway system if they would just maintain them. In the village center located next to this villa is a fountain which is no longer potable, so it is advised to tank up on water in the village of Nosate, located 5 km south.

Start of the Villoresi Canal

Highlight • River

More than 85 kilometers long, the Villoresi canal is among the most important artificial waterways in Italy. It owes its name to the engineer Eugenio Villoresi, who began designing it in 1862. Here you are just downstream from the Panperduto dam, immediately after the diversion locks, between the Villoresi canal and the Industriale canal (or Vizzola canal), whose main branch will flow into the Naviglio Grande.

View of the Ticino River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beware that the road is narrow and cars rush. Too bad because the area would also be nice
