Facts and practical information

The Bereguardo Canal was a navigable canal, part of the Navigli system in Lombardy, Italy. A secondary branch of the Naviglio Grande, it diverges at Abbiategrasso, heading south to Bereguardo. The Naviglio di Bereguardo, along with the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio di Pavia, connect Milan to the Ticino, which then connects to the Po and eventually to the sea. The canals, called naviglio because they were navigable by boats, were an integral part of Milan's dominance over northern Italy, both as a means of transportation as well as agricultural irrigation and, eventually, hydraulic energy for manufacturing.
