Naviglio Vecchio

Lake

27.8 km

The Naviglio Grande, once used for the transport of goods and people, connected Milan to Ticino. Near the town of Turbigo, the Naviglio is crossed by a bridge which had a strategic importance on 31 May 1800 when, with the battle of Turbigo, Napoleon Bonaparte's French troops conquered the bridge, thus gaining entry to Milan.

Villa Clerici on the Naviglio Grande

Highlight • Historical Site

In the Ticino park in Castelletto di Cuggiono on a low hill is the eighteenth-century Villa Clerici along the banks of the Naviglio Grande, an evocative holiday residence of the Milanese family of the same name.

During the 18th century, the fashion had spread among aristocrats who lived in the city to commission immense villas in the countryside around Milan so that they could be reached via waterways, i.e. the Navigli. In fact, Villa Clerici, despite no longer having a marina, still has a double façade, one facing the town that has formed over time all around the house and one of great beauty as well as uniqueness towards the Naviglio.

Castelletto Bridge on the Naviglio Grande

Highlight • Bridge

Truly pleasant places, even more beautiful in spring when the canals overflow with water. When, on the other hand, they are unloaded or dry, they are quite negligible places.
