Great for gravel cycling and MTB, beautiful scenery, but be ware there are 2-3 horror parts to lookout for. Thankfuly they are only 2-3m long so they are irrelevant all over. Highly recomended for all.

Santuario di Santa Maria del Fonte is a magnificent monumental complex, situated at the end of a long tree-lined avenue that begins with the arch of Porta Nuova, close to the historic center of the city. Its origin dates back to the famous episode of the Apparition: on May 26, 1432, the peasant woman Giannetta de Vacchi was in the Mazzolengo meadow, near the village of Caravaggio, when she witnessed the appearance of a woman whom, by her majesty and beauty, she immediately recognized as the Virgin Mary. As a testament to the event, a new spring gushed forth in the field, whose waters were capable of healing ailments. In the immediately following centuries, a place of worship was built to remain in eternal memory of the event: this building later became the current Basilica of the Sanctuary of Caravaggio.

The Naviglio della Martesana, definitively completed in 1496 under the leadership of Ludovico il Moro, flows from Trezzo sull’Adda to Milan for a total length of 38 km. The route runs alongside the ancient Roman road (the current SS 11 padana superiore) which crossed the Adda with two branches: at Vaprio and at Cassano. Irrigation of the land located above the spring belt was for a long time the predominant use of the canal, so much so that initially navigation was limited to two days a week; concurrently with the improvement of the agricultural structure thanks to irrigation, a notable flourishing of stately villas occurred in the Baroque era, aimed at enjoying the convenience of water travel and controlling the owned lands.

From Milan (Mi) to Trezzo sull’Adda (Mi). Lush vegetation and surprising architecture make this cycle path a pleasant opportunity to spend a Sunday cycling. The elevation gain is non-existent, the only difficulty could be the length, but it can easily be remedied thanks to the metro which, up to Gessate, closely follows the cycle path.
