The Bereguardo Pontoon Bridge is one of the last rare examples of a pontoon bridge remaining in Italy, located in the province of Pavia along the SP185 to connect the municipalities of Bereguardo and Zerbolò. 🚫 Attention! The bridge is currently completely closed to traffic for a major extraordinary maintenance and requalification project costing 3.2 million euros. Although reopening was initially planned for July 2026, due to construction delays, the closure has been extended and the estimated reopening date is now set for October 24, 2026.

The Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino is crossed not by a single canal, but by a complex and historic hydraulic network. The main ones are the Canale Villoresi and the Panperduto (Somma Lombardo).

The Lombardo Park of the Ticino Valley is the oldest regional park in Italy, established in 1974, and represents the first river park in Europe. With an area of approximately 91,800 hectares, it develops entirely in Lombardy, running along the Ticino River from Lake Maggiore (Sesto Calende) to its confluence with the Po River (Pavia), crossing as many as 47 municipalities in the provinces of Milan, Pavia, and Varese. Together with its twin, the Piedmontese Natural Park of the Ticino Valley, it forms the largest protected river area on the continent, also recognized as a MAB UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

A lost place, like the ones you see in books. Whenever I see something like this, I always think it's a shame that the old mills are no longer in use.
