Navigli, Vicolo Lavandai, Milano, Italy
The “Navigli” formed until the 19th century the city’s port district. Work on the Naviglio Grande started in 1177. A sequence of locks allowed boats to travel along the canals on different levels. Lodovico il Moro with Leonardo da Vinci improved this network in the 15th century. Thanks to the Navigli canals, in 1953 landlocked Milan was ranked the 13th port in Italy. Today, the area around the Navigli, is one of liveliest of Milan: here you’ll find many interesting shops, restaurants and markets. During the day the area around the Navigli is peaceful, with a village atmosphere. Walking back towards the dockyard (the Darsena) there is a good view of the pretty Vicolo dei Lavandai (Washers’ Alley) from the opposite side of the canal. In the past women would wash their clothes in the pool fed by the Naviglio Grande.
Navigli運河區，在米蘭市南方的古老區域，在这里有很多著名的艺术工坊和各式著名的餐厅，是許多時裝展的舉辦地點，也是米蘭人的晚飯夜生活重鎮。达芬奇曾于1482至1499年期间在米兰生活，他的生活印迹至今还清晰可见，一直到1930年还流经米兰的古老运河上的水闸就是由这位大师设计的。
