Provincia di Milano

Cassina de' Pomm

The area of Cassina de' Pomm, which means "the farmstead of the apples", is located at the end of via Melchiorre Gioia and it is the point at which the Martesana canal begins its route towards the north-east suburbs of Milan. The present-day "trattoria Martesana" replaced the ancient Cassina de' Pomm, which in past centuries was a well-known hotel, inn and resting place for travellers.

Stop

The route begins right in the centre of the town, near the Cassina de' Pomm in via Melchiorre Gioia.
> Cassina de' Pomm
Taking via Tofane, you go past three railway bridges and arrive in the Gorla area, an ancient district of Milan, filled with history, that formed an independent municipality in the past. At the end of via Tofane you crosses viale Monza, which has heavy traffic.
The bike ride continues peacefully and safely along the towpath, past small green areas and ancient balustrade houses, where old constructions and renovated buildings stand side by side.
> Gorla
After viale Monza, you proceed along via Bestelli and come to Martesana Park, a large green area that leads to the centre of a recently built residential zone. Going further along, you reach via Padova, where the route turns to the left and becomes via Idro. The scenery along this stretch is mainly industrial.
> Via Idro lungo il Naviglio Martesana
The canal now flows past warehouses and industrial buildings and passes under the ring road near the Gobba farmstead. As you arrive at the suburb of Gaggiolo you can see Villa Cazzaniga.
