The Villoresi Canal cycle path crosses the Lombardy countryside, running along the entire stretch of the Villoresi Canal, the historic waterway built for irrigating fields at the end of the 19th century by engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The Canal draws water from the Ticino river, near Somma Lombardo, and after a 86 km journey, returns it to the Adda river, near Groppello.
