Headed with a small group to the Navigli area of Milano. In 222BC, the Romans conquered Milano, and set forth an expansion of the city along with water needs. The Romans over the next few hundred years built a canal system that brought the ability to get to the Po, which would eventually lead out to the Mediterranean sea.
Because of progress in transportation (automobiles) many of the canals were paved over. The Navigli is the last canal in Milano and is a must see, especially around early evening/dinner time.

Had a nice 4 course dinner at Ristorante Milano Brellin.
Fantastic place in which the owner made sure we were all taken care of, and had plenty to eat.
We also shared Several bottles of the regional wine were shared among the table. One draw back is we spent €50 on bottled water!
