 The Brentella Canal - Consorzio Battellieri di Padova e Riviera del Brenta
The Vicentians diverted the river Bacchiglione course to Longare and so deprived Padua of one of its main water sources: the main waterway, which meant the blocking of trades and prevented transport of millstones, both very important for the city.
From the north of the city- Limena- part of the water of Brenta were deviated into the inferior brunch of the river entering the south of the city.
Being used to fill rivers, the Brentella waterway had to be contantly checked to avoid overfloodings when the water level of the Brenta river was too high, a hydraulic barrier (called "Colmelloni") was built in Limena to regulate the level- hight of the river.
