Arriva l'Expo 2015 e le storie dei Navigli tornano di moda per la loro attrazione turistica, trasformando così la funzione originale che avevano i navigli. Il Naviglio Grande è stata la prima opera del genere a essere realizzata in Europa e storicamente è il più importante dei Navigli milanesi, nonché una delle grandi infrastrutture di ingegneria che sin dall'alto Medioevo caratterizzavano, con strade, ponti e irrigazione, il territorio lombardo, consentendo lo sviluppo dei commerci, dei trasporti e dell'agricoltura. Fin dalla fine del XIII secolo, il Naviglio Grande fu percorso da una flottiglia di barche che, con i loro carichi, rivoluzionarono vita e abitudini di una vasta regione. Il canale in origine non era collegato al fossato che circondava la città; ciò avverrà dopo oltre un secolo per le esigenze della Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo. Da Milano con l'impiego di "barconi" chiamati cagnone, mezzane o borcelli a seconda delle dimensioni e delle portate, risalivano verso il Lago Maggiore e la Svizzera sale, grano, vini, manufatti, tessuti, stoviglie, letami e ceneri; a Milano giungevano ciottoli, mattoni, creta, sabbia, ghiaia, paglia e fieno dal bacino del canale e, dal Lago Maggiore, marmi, graniti, beole e pietre da costruzione, calce carbone, legna, vino, formaggi, pesce e bestiame. Nell'ambito dell'Expo 2015, i navigli possono giocare un formidabile ruolo di attrattiva turistica e culturale per cui è naturale che attorno al loro recupero e valorizzazione vi siano numerosi progetti. I navigli sono però anche luoghi d'incontro e sulle rive del Naviglio Grande ogni sera si accende la movida milanese: ristoranti (magari su un vecchio barcone ormeggiato e trasformato), bar, pub e osterie, locali notturni attirano migliaia di persone rumorose che animano così la vita milanese.

Thanks Mark and Pass suggestion. E 'was taken at a time when PS was not included in my thoughts and I had to fix it as I could. Now that I've done the course of PS things go worse ...: - (: - (: - ((must be a mental factor that makes me allergic to this program).

Hello
