Tour delle Delizie is a journey through the memories of Milan, who some experts say is named after the waters it used to be surrounded by (“place between rivers”). Since the 12th century, such abundant water resources were “organized” in a system of irrigation canals and waterways: the Navigli.

On the tour, you go along one of the most evocative parts of Naviglio Grande, which is completely immersed in vegetation. nd on top of enjoying the view – which includes the patrician villas of Cassinetta of Lugagnano and Robecco sul Naviglio, the Ponte Nuovo di Magenta, the Canonica Agostiniana di Bernate Ticino, and Villa Clerici in Castelletto di Cuggiono – you can imagine these surroundings like Bonvesin de la Riva once saw them.
