Built in wood in 1544 it was subsequently rebuilt in stone (1574) after the collapse. The bridge we see today was raised in 1630, apparently too low for bulky transportation along the waterway.

Two canals start from the Panperduto Dam. The Villoresi canal wanted by Villoresi goes up to Vaprio D'Adda and the industrial canal wanted by local entrepreneurs to bring water to the power plant that goes to Turbigo. If you go there you will notice two canals. call them both the Villoresi channel
