Fabbrica alta, Industrial building in Schio, Italy.
The red brick building extends over five floors with 330 windows, 52 dormers, and three interior bays supported by 125 cast iron columns.
Belgian architect Auguste Vivroux designed this wool manufacturing facility in 1861, completing construction within nine months using materials from the Leogra stream.
The structure represents a significant example of 19th-century industrial architecture, following Northern European design principles adapted to Italian manufacturing requirements.
Located on Via Pasubio, the building remains closed to visitors, with no current restoration plans following its 2013 acquisition by municipal authorities.
Each floor served specific wool processing functions: carding on first, spinning on second, spooling on third, weaving on fourth, and Jacquard work on fifth.
