Provincia di Milano

From Cernusco sul Naviglio to Inzago

The second stretch of the Martesana canal waterway

The second stretch of the canal continues east as far as Gorgonzola, the town famous for the cheese of the same name. Villa Facheris, Villa Rej, which is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and the 18th-century Villa Gnecchi Ruscone stand out among the buildings that belonged to the old nobility. The route is level and runs alongside the watercourse.

After passing the Molgora stream, you enter the municipality of Gorgonzola. This stretch, one of the most picturesque of the entire journey, provides glimpses of other times and passes by Villa Busca-Serbelloni and the church of Santi Gervasio e Protasio.
