"Dell'antico stato del lago di Pusiano nell'alto Milanese" by Carlo Redaelli is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the historical geography and natural history of the Pusiano Lake area, positing its significance as a topographical feature referenced by ancient sources, particularly Pliny the Elder. The author aims to illuminate the ancient state of the surrounding landscape, its water bodies, and their transformations over time. At
the start of the work, Redaelli addresses the lack of comprehensive studies done by previous writers on the ancient geography of Milan, particularly concerning the Pusiano Lake and its related smaller lakes. He provides a detailed description of these bodies of water, lays out their geographic positions, and references ancient texts to anchor his investigations. The opening portion discusses theories about the lake's historical uses, levels, and physical characteristics, aiming to establish a scholarly basis for viewing these lakes as remnants of a once larger and interconnected waterbody, possibly identified as "Eupili" by Pliny.
