Crespi d'Adda in Capriate San Gervasio, Lombardy, is an outstanding example of the "company towns" built by enlightened industrialists in Europe and North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries to meet the needs of their workers. The site remains well preserved and partly used for industrial purposes, although changing economic and social conditions now threaten its survival.
