The workers village of Crespi d’Adda


An interesting example of an industrial village of the late 1800s, a UNESCO heritage site, with the workers’ houses and the villas of the workers still intact that develop in front of the factory, testifying to the far-sightedness of Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, progenitor of a family of enlightened entrepreneurs.
Paternalism applied to the industrial revolution: Crespi is the concrete realization of the ideal city. Here the workers’ families could work and live satisfying every need: school, church, free time, health … An intact place, still inhabited today, which allows you to fully immerse yourself in our most recent History.
