Tips

The Carlo Esterle hydroelectric power plant is located on the right bank of the Adda river in the municipality of Cornate d'Adda (MB).

It is dedicated to the memory of Carlo Esterle, Edison's managing director until 1918.

The power plant is known for its beauty. The building is built in a style derived from the Lombard eclectic tradition.

Meticulous ornaments, geometric and floral motifs, the columns and capitals at the entrance, lampposts and wrought iron eaves and the imposing Gothic-style windows make it appear more similar to a villa than an industrial building.

The walls and ceiling of the engine room are carefully decorated, as are the floors, street lamps, lamps and numerous wrought iron furnishings.

The plant has been modernized and improved several times since 1998, always respecting the original forms.

Power plant located downstream of the pre-existing Bertini hydroelectric power plant. It was dedicated to the memory of Carlo Esterle, managing director of the Edison company until 1918.
Particularly cared for on an architectural and aesthetic level.
