Crespi d'Adda, Capriate San Gervasio

(380+ reviews on the web)

Historic Site Landmark

Savor the history of Crespi d'Adda, a World Heritage-listed "company town" that is still functioning--although its future is unclear. Company towns were developed in the 19th and 20th centuries in North America and Europe to satisfy the needs of industrial workers--nearly all jobs and facilities were provided by a singular company. While the historical settlement still thrives, changing economic and social conditions threaten its existence. Today's residents are mostly descendants of the original workers, but keep an eye out for the textile factory and the strikingly red Crespis Castle.

Molto interessante, villaggio industriale dell' 800 rimasto praticamente intatto. Conviene prendere una guida che tra l'altro ha un costo assolutamente contenuto. Molto interessante ideale per una gita di mezza giornata

Very interesting, industrial village of 800 remained virtually intact. It pays to take a guide which also costs absolutely content. Very attractive ideal for a half day

Esempio di architettura padronale inizi 900, la cui conservazione subisce l'incuria del tempo e le superfettazioni create dai singoli proprietari. Merita la visita ma anche un risanamento

Master architecture early 900, the conservation of which suffers the ravages of time and the superfettazioni created by individual owners. Worth the visit but also a sanitation
