Panperduto: where ingenuity meets nature

Just a 20-minute drive from Hotel Villa Borghi is one of the most fascinating and iconic places in Lombardy: the Panperduto dam. Here, water is the absolute protagonist, among winding paths, canalisation works and breathtaking views. A place where the power of nature and the genius of man meet, giving life to one of the most important hydraulic junctions in the area.

Designed by Eugenio Villoresi and inaugurated in 1884, the dam marks the origin of two fundamental canals: the Villoresi Canal, which has transformed the area's agriculture by making fertile lands that were once unproductive, and the Industrial Canal, the beating heart for the production of hydroelectric energy. A complex system, still active today, that tells a story of innovation and vision.

In recent years the site has undergone major redevelopment by the Consorzio Est Ticino Villoresi and now welcomes visitors with new tourist services: educational trails, guided tours, nature experiences and a cafeteria bar.
