In Medieval and Renaissance Italy an inland waterway permitted a person to travel over 500km by boat from Lake Maggiore to Venice via Milan. This summer they will begin clearing the first 8 km of those Canals, to reestablish that waterway system.
Lake Maggiore is the most westerly of the three large prealpine lakes of Italy, the others being Lake Garda, and Lake Como, and is located on the Swiss-Italy border where Piedmonte and Lombardia meet, Northwest of Milan.
Italians to Reopen Inland Waterways
Italy is to reopen medieval and Renaissance inland waterways so that tourists can travel over 500km by boat from Lake Maggiore to Venice via Milan.
This summer, engineers will start clearing 8km of canals from the southern end of Lake Maggiore at Sesto Calende to Somma Lombardo.
