Villoresi Canal
For people on the go who enjoy outdoor activities, the Villoresi Canal is ideal for a trip out of town. Built at the end of the 19th century to irrigate the fields, this historic canal crosses the Lombardy countryside for 86 km before flowing into the Adda River.
The adjacent trail is easy and flat, passable with any type of bicycle and also suitable for excursions with children. A ride in nature will let you discover the beauties of the area, traveling through cultivated fields, parks and woods and with various short detours that can be taken for a brief stop in one of the many towns crossed by the canal.
Palio of Legnano
On the last Sunday in May in Legnano the traditional Palio festival takes place that commemorates the homonymous battle of May 29, 1176, in which the allied municipalities in the Lombard League defeated the imperial army of Frederick I, known as Barbarossa. In the afternoon, more than a thousand extras in medieval costumes with clothes, shields and weapons faithfully reproducing the attire and objects of the time parade through the streets of the city. The celebrations end with an equestrian event involving the eight historic districts of the city that challenge one another in a bareback race on a track built inside the municipal stadium.
