In a quiet alley north of the Naviglio Grande canal is a narrow stream, quiet except for the number of tourists visiting. The male guild of laundrymen used wooden slabs back into the 1700s. The stone slabs became known for laundrywomen taking over in the 1900s to bleach linens with ash, soap and soda, until mechanization became common in the 1950s.
