of the entrances that were to be used at toll booths,

L'arco trionfale a una fornace era fiancheggiato da due caselli daziari,
divisi dall'arco tramite dei passaggi pedonali.
Il materiale utilizzato per la sua costruzione fu la pietra di Viggiù;
Viggiù è un piccolo paese in provincia di Varese famoso
per le sue roccie di qualità.
Sulla sommità dell'arco, vennero collocati quattro colossi
che simbologgiavano i fiumi più importanti della regione:
Po, Adda, Ticino ed Olona.
Fu dedicata a Garibaldi nel 1860 in merito alle eccellenti vittorie
conseguite a Varese e San Fermo.
