Crespi d'Adda, Industrial mill town in Capriate San Gervasio, Italy
The village features uniform brick buildings arranged along wide streets, with the cotton mill serving as the central architectural element of the community.
Cristoforo Benigno Crespi established this industrial settlement in 1878 to provide housing and facilities for workers employed at his textile manufacturing enterprise.
