From Cassano, the road leads to Northern Italy's Inzago. Cesare Cantù was so charmed by Inzago that he described it as "one of the most delightful holiday stays". Since the 17th century, Inzago like many other towns on the Martesana, become popular by Milanese aristocrats whom built many villas because of the scenic views from the canal and as a way of keeping family estates under control. This is also evident in the nearby area, where the presence of farms continues to be a consistent sign of fertile and productive land. Along the Naviglio crossing from east to west is the 19th-century Ville Aitelli Vitali, with a tower and Villa Rej .
