La realizzazione del primo tratto navigabile dei Navigli risale alla metà del XII secolo. Nel 1179, furono inaugurati i primi 50 Km del Ticinello, e si diede vita alla costruzione del Naviglio grande. Nel 1457, Francesco Sforza affidò al Bertola la costruzione del Naviglio della Martesana e furono costruiti 90 canali resi navigabili dalla presenza di 25 conche. Nel 1482 con l'arrivo di Leonardo Da Vinci, si cominciò a progettare un sistema di canali che permettessero la navigazione dalla Valtellina a Milano. Sempre nello stesso anno, Leonardo, fu incaricato da Ludovico il Moro di studiare un sistema per permettere la navigazione dal lago di Como fino a Milano. Leonardo, progettò il sistema di chiuse per ovviare al problema del dislivello dei terreni e per rendere così possibile la navigazione, non perse l'occasione per farne alcuni schizzi, ora conservati al Museo dei Navigli. Un'altra geniale soluzione per il superamento dei 23,76 metri di dislivello delle rapide di Paderno fu pensata a metà del ' 500 dall'ingegnere e pittore Giuseppe Meda che ideò una nuova conca detta il Castello che secoli più tardi diverrà il Naviglio di Paderno. L'arditezza tecnica della soluzione del Meda era tale che, quando due secoli dopo l'opera fu ripresa sotto il governo austriaco di Maria Teresa, il Ministro per la Lombardia Conte Carlo Firmian approvò una soluzione intermedia di sei conche con salti compresi tra i quattro e i sei metri. Nel 1805 Napoleone completò la costruzione del Naviglio pavese realizzando quello che per secoli fu il sogno dei milanesi: il mare si raggiungeva tramite il Naviglio di Pavia e il Po, il lago Maggiore tramite il Naviglio grande e il Ticino, il lago di Como tramite il naviglio della Martesana e l'Adda. La Martesana rimase attiva per tutto l'Ottocento come via di trasporto sia con un regolare servizio passeggeri, sia con un intenso traffico commerciale. I barconi portavano a Milano grano, frutta, prodotti caseari, bestiame, legname, sabbia e ghiaia ed altri materiali da costruzione. Alla fine dell'Ottocento entro' in crisi la fossa interna perche' antigienica e di ostacolo al traffico. Poi vennere le automobili e i navigli entrarono in abbandono; le loro acque furono utilizzate dalle industrie che li inquinarono. La fossa interna venne coperta tra il 1929 e il 1930, durante il periodo fascista. Decaddero lentamente tutti gli altri navigli. Gli ultimi ad andare in crisi furono quelli della Martesana e il Naviglio Grande Critiche, commenti e consigli sempre super graditi. Grazie.
