Naviglio Pavese is one of the five Milanese canals. It was designed in the fourth century, however, it was built only at the turn of the 18th and 19th century, along with the channel Naviglio Paderno. Today it is 33 km long and connects Milan with the nearby city of Pavia and the lower reaches of the Ticino River. In 1960, Naviglio Pavese, like the other channels, was closed. Today it is undergoing modernization as part of the project to merge Switzerland with Venice.
The construction of the water network of Milan began at the end of the 12th century, and ended only at the end of the 19th century. However, the history of the channels dates back to ancient times. It is assumed that the first objects of that type, used for irrigation purposes, were created during the reign of Tarkwinius Pyszny, around 590 BC Later they were also used to transport goods and supplies to Milan in water.
