international airport serving Milan, Italy

The Idroscalo is an artificial lake in Milan, Italy that was originally constructed as a seaplane airport. It opened on 28 October 1930, in the heyday of seaplanes. When the use of seaplanes for passenger transport declined it became a recreational and sport facility. The first official rowing event was held in 1934 while Idroscalo was still an airport.
