In the heart of Lombardy, between Milan and Bergamo, lies the workers' village of Crespi d'Adda, an extraordinary example of a "company town" linked to the industrial boom of the late nineteenth century.

Inserted into the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Crespi d'Adda site is the best preserved workers' village in Europe, a small oasis of peace to be discovered slowly, in line with the rhythms of the past.

Crespi d'Adda is located on the extreme southern tip of the Bergamo Island, a lowland enclosed between the Adda and Brembo rivers and the Pre-Alps.

Today part of the Lombard municipality of Capriate San Gervasio, the industrial village of Crespi d'Adda is the maximum expression of the philosophy of the enlightened industrialists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who understood the importance of placing alongside the factories the residential complexes in which to house the employees and their families.

The village of Crespi d'Adda was built next to the Crespi family's textile factory and for decades represented the perfect example of a society in which the owner provided for all the needs of the employees and their families, making all the services necessary for community life such as hospital, church, school, theatre, food and clothing outlets.
