The Navigli

The canals are located not far from the important Cathedral for its history and now much visited by tourists. Strolling along the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese, the two rivers around which the district extends, the Navigli were born precisely to make up for the absence of a main watercourse to provide the city with a river port that favored trade. To fully understand the historical value of this grandiose work of hydraulic engineering, to which Leonardo da Vinci also contributed, the marble blocks used for the construction of the Cathedral were transported along the canals. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the prevalence of transport on rubber and iron decreed a slow but inexorable decline of the district, meanwhile mainly inhabited by workers who were absorbed by industries around the city. At the end of the 20th century, on the other hand, the decline of the industry, to the benefit of the tertiary and finance sectors, accompanied a further transformation of the area, frequented by artists and the new bourgeoisie of the city and instead now for the presence of tourists, bar restaurants are opened , trattorias and a multitude of other commercial activities that have made the Navigli one of the highlights of Milan's nightlife.
