Unfortunately, we have the usual ...
Another beautiful Opera left to ruin and all'incuria by our beloved politicians.
The aqueduct is part not only of history but it is a work that should be preserved, stored and re-inserted in the guides for sightseeing.
I think a tour to retrace the structure from upstream to downstream (marketing and art), would give a "hard time" Lucchesi to many other attractions.
The right-thinking people (citizens and co.) Instead of preserving the great culture and beauty of the place, have proposed a few months ago to the various offices and other amenities as swimming pools built on the ramparts of the walls or even bar on top of the towers.
We fruit.
SAVE THE AQUEDUCT!

==============
Lorenzo Nottolini (Capannori, May 6, 1787 - Lucca, September 12, 1851) was an architect and engineer.
active mainly in Lucca, is known for his work in the field of water regime. To him we owe also the current state of repute Square Amphitheater, one of the most popular tourist attractions of Lucca.
Nottolini The aqueduct dates back to the nineteenth century, built by Maria Luisa of Bourbon to supply water to Lucca. Designed by Lorenzo Nottolini, was built between 1823 and 1851, the year of death of the architect. The massive work had long 3250 meters with 459 masonry arches.
waters of Monti Pisani flowed in the temple-tank Guamo built from 1823 to 1825 in a neoclassical style, and along the aqueduct, came to the shrine of St. Concordio and from there to the fountains in the center. From the Temple of
Guamo
you can reach the area known as the golden words, where you can enjoy the canal system and stone walls along the valley at the foot of Monti Pisani.

The aqueduct was designed to bring within the walls of Lucca, by two separate paths, water quality of major and minor. The increased water quality came from the springs and the other from Serra crawl space (building, bringing together the waters of the Rio San Quirico, Valle del Rio).
through underground ducts and "booty inspection" the water arrives at the "temple-tank" of Guam.
Quattrocentosessanta pillars, a distance of about 3.250 meters, which support the arches on the top two channels for water flow.
To stabilize the structure were built, so equidistant, 28 buttresses to reinforce the pillars.
From the "temple-tank" of San Concordio a penstock entered the city, passing under the bulwark of St. Columban. On either side of the "temple" were two water fountains that were flowing from a vent.
