The Navigli

age_of_condottieri

The canal network that threads through the Lombard plain started as a simple irrigation system but has grown into the arteries of our entire regional economy, connecting Milan to the Po and carrying grain, timber, and finished goods at a fraction of the cost of road transport. We have invested in widening and deepening these waterways, building new locks that allow heavier barges to move year-round without depending on seasonal water levels. This network cuts the cost of supplying our cities and moving troops, making Lombardy one of the most efficiently administered territories in Italy.
