Villoresi Canal

Highlight • River

Canale Villoresi is a canal in Italy; it was the brainchild of Lombardy engineer Eugenio Villoresi.
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.

Villa Visconti Borromeo Arese Litta

Highlight • Historical Site

Villa Visconti Borromeo Arese Litta, known as Villa Litta di Lainate, was built in the sixteenth century by Pirro I Visconti Borromeo inspired by the Medici villas in Tuscany. It is certainly worth visiting the sixteenth-century buildings, the park and the nymphaeum. The latter boasts an astonishing array of statues, frescoes, mosaics, fountains and grotesques.
