UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, Crespi d'Adda is one of Europe's best-preserved 19th-century company towns, built from 1877 by industrialist Cristoforo Benigno Crespi to house textile workers in Lombardy's Bergamo province. The village sits along the Adda river with the Alps visible in the distance, and its intact streetscape of workers' housing, factory buildings, and civic structures remains largely as it was — though changing economic conditions now put its future in question.
