I Navigli

The system of irrigation and navigation channels, which connected Lake Maggiore, Como and the lower Ticino is called Navigli. The construction of the system began in the twelfth century and ended in the 19th century. Thanks to the irrigation system, many areas were made productive. There are five ships that are part of the Milanese Navigli system: Grande, Pavese, Martesana, Paderno and Bereguardo.
