The Pietro Vacchelli canal, formerly Canale Marzano from the locality where the water intake from the Adda river is located, flows from west to east in the Middle Lombardy Plain and constitutes the largest hydraulic work for irrigation in the territory of the province of Cremona. Built by the Cremonesi Irrigazioni Consortium between 1887 and 1892, on the proposal of the engineer. Pietro Vacchelli (whose name he took after his death in 1913), with the aim of resolving the serious agricultural crisis of the second half of the 19th century caused by backward cultivation systems.
It, in an almost exclusively straight path, transports 38.5 cubic meters of water per second up to the locality "Tombe Morte", in the Municipality of Genivolta, where its waters join those derived from the Oglio river.

Tombe Morte (and 13 bridges)

Highlight • Structure

Important hydraulic junction and meeting point between various dirt paths that allow you to discover the area by bike. You cannot get here by motorized means. This area is full of fun dirt roads, to be discovered slowly! Following the Vacchelli and then the Naviglio Cremonese, you can easily get to Cremona!

Pizzighettone Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

Pizzighettone boasts one of the best-preserved city walls in Lombardy. Built in the Middle Ages and then reinforced during the Spanish era, they still surround a large portion of the historic center along the banks of the Adda River. The casemates and internal walkways allow you to imagine military life in the past, when the village was a strategic garrison between Milan and Cremona. Strolling around the walls, you can admire towers, bastions, and perfectly restored sections.
