Conca dell'Incoronata - Milan, Italy - Waterway Locks, Planes and Lifts on Waymarking.com

«The Naviglio Martesana is a canal in the Lombardy region, Northern Italy. Running from the Adda river, in the vicinity of Trezzo sull'Adda, to Milan, it was also known as Naviglio Piccolo. It is part of the system of navigli of the Milan area.

Originally named Naviglio Piccolo, it subsequently changed to Martesana from the name of the county across which it runs.

The canal enters Milan alongside Via Padova until Cassina de' Pomm: at the junction with Via Melchiorre Gioia it disappears underground following the route of Via Melchiorre Gioia itself southwards.

In the past it would have passed through the Conca dell'Incoronata and the Laghetto di San Marco to connect with the Fossa Interna (or Inner Ring).

Today, after merging with the river Seveso, the underground course becomes the Cavo Redefossi in the vicinity of Porta Nuova, runs under the cerchia dei bastioni to Porta Romana, follows Corso Lodi and Via Emilia, finally ending up in the River Lambro.»
