Cartiera Vita-Meyer, Industrial archaeology site in Cairate, Italy.
The Cartiera Vita-Meyer complex extends along the Olona River, featuring multiple industrial structures dedicated to paper manufacturing and processing operations.
From its establishment in 1899, the paper mill expanded continuously until the 1960s, reaching a production capacity of 80,000 tons of paper annually.
The site represents northern Italy's industrial development, preserving machinery and architectural elements that document the evolution of paper manufacturing techniques.
Due to ongoing restoration work, visitors must obtain permission from local authorities before accessing any part of the former industrial complex.
During World War II, the factory operated under government control while its Jewish owners, the Vita and Mayer families, sought refuge in Switzerland.
