Crespi Family Mausoleum

Highlight • Monument

The cemetery of Crespi d'Adda, located south of the village, at the end of the main avenue, was built between 1905 and 1908 based on a design by Gaetano Moretti, who won a public competition wanted by Silvio Benigno Crespi and announced by the Academy of fine arts of Brera.

The cemetery has a square-shaped layout: the entrance is located to the north, while on the opposite side stands the Crespi family mausoleum made of rustic stump and decorative concrete, in an eclectic and exotic style. The tombs of the workers and their families are characterized by simple stone crosses arranged in rows and once delimited by myrtle hedges. Tombs with a richer decorative apparatus are found along the side walls of the cemetery and could be chosen by the workers, at their own expense, as an alternative to the standard model created at the company's expense.

Monumental Cemetery of Crespi d'Adda

Highlight • Historical Site

The cemetery designed by Gaetano Moretti has a rectangular planimetric shape and is located south of the village near the confluence of the Brembo with the Adda, reachable through an artery over 300 meters long, continuing the main avenue.

The complex is set in an agricultural environment of cultivated countryside: the whole plot to the right of the avenue and the cemetery, now uncultivated undergrowth, was once cultivated with vineyards and orchards while on the opposite side there was cereal cultivation.

The entrance takes place by means of a wrought iron gate positioned centrally on the north side, right in front of a majestic pyramid-shaped funeral monument that forms the backdrop of the cemetery.

The Crespi mausoleum consists of three galleries, a central staircase and an altar dedicated to the SS. Redeemer and to Saints Onorato and Simplicio; in it the space was prepared for fifty burials and it is the only property that remains today the property of its founders (the rest of the cemetery would be passed on January 1, 1931 to the company S.T.I. - Italian Textile Establishments - which will sell it in 1965 to the Municipality of Capriate San Gervasio).

Crespi d'Adda Industrial Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Crespi is the name of the family of cotton industrialists who decided to give life to this modern "ideal city of work", between the 19th and 20th centuries.
The intent was to reproduce a small fiefdom, where the house and the owner himself were a symbol of both authority and benevolence towards the workers and their families.
Only those who worked in the factory resided in the village, and the life of the entire community revolved around the factory, its rhythms and its needs.

The church of Crespi d'Adda is a perfect re-edition of the sanctuary of Santa Maria di Piazza di Busto Arsizio, the original city of the Crespi family.

The magazine "L'Edilizia Moderna" of October 1894 reports that "the reproduction of the sacred building of Busto Arsizio in Crespi d'Adda was carried out scrupulously both with respect to the overall size and with respect to the most minute architectural and decorative details".

It was built between 1891 and 1893, with a square plan with a base in Adda strain and culminates in a large octagonal dome, surrounded, on the external part, by a loggia refined by marble columns.

The rich decorations of the internal walls almost faithfully follow those of the Busto church, and reach their peak in the dome, in the representation of a starry sky on a clear night.

The only significant difference compared to the original Sanctuary of Busto lies in having kept "the floor level raised by about seventy centimeters above the level of the surrounding square, with the addition of a plinth made of local stump and a staircase in marble of Verona at the church door".

View of Crespi d'Adda

Highlight • Viewpoint

Interesting industrial worker village founded in the late 1800s, still inhabited but by private citizens. The structure and style of the houses have remained unchanged. Also very characteristic is the cemetery located at the bottom of a tree-lined avenue at the bottom of the town characterized by the presence of an imposing mausoleum. The whole area has long been a UNESCO heritage site
