Wonderful Castle Of The Late 1800s In Crespi D'adda

In the most exclusive area of Crespi D'Adda, in a strategic position halfway between Milan and Bergamo, there is this exclusive castle villa from the late 1800s with a private park for sale, offering a panoramic view of the leafy plane surrounding it.

Ideal for reaching the major points of interest in Lombardy, while being inserted in a luxuriant landscape where contact with nature prevails, this property is truly unique in the entire famous village: designed in 1870 by architect Ernesto Pirovano, commissioned by industrialist Benigno Crespi for the workers of his textile factory, this building was deliberately built in its majestic castle guise to serve as a calling card for the entire Crespi d'Adda area.

Together with perhaps only the chimney stacks, the villa is undoubtedly the most eye-catching building in the entire workers' village, recognizable even from miles away. The choice of brick as the predominant material aims to recall the terracotta decorations present in a widespread manner on the other buildings of the village, according to a philosophy of uniformity with the local architecture.

Its neo-medieval appearance, according to the architectural style that was popular in the late 19th century, inspired by the revival of the past, can be seen in the dense ornaments that embellish the facades, including single, double, triple and small windows, marble bases and sills, concrete parts, frescoes with coats of arms, mosaics, capitals with an epic tone, balconies in inlaid wood and inserts in wrought iron and bronze.

These precious period details are the subject of particular attention in the delicate phase of conservative restoration to which the villa is being subjected, under the constant protection of the Fine Arts.

The renovation project includes the fitting of an electrical system, heating and a convenient lift to connect all four floors that make up this 3,000-sqm villa.

A magnificent example of industrial archaeology, among the most famous in the world, this property is an elegant private estate of immense historical prestige, equally ideal for those wishing to start an exclusive accommodation business, thanks also to the large green space available and a hectare of richly planted park.
