A power plant or a castle?
As you ride along the beautiful bicycle path along the Adda River at Trezzo, you might be caught by this doubt.
The long, low structure is indeed reminiscent of the Visconti castle located on the hill above it.
It was the far-sighted businessman Crespi who wanted his new power plant to be built in harmony with the surrounding landscape.
The architect, Gaetano Moretti, therefore decided to use the same stone employed centuries earlier in the construction of the pre-existing fortification and to build his power plant with shapes that recalled medieval battlements.
The result is one of the most fascinating buildings of the entire belle époque, as well as perhaps of all industrial architecture!
The power plant is still in operation, providing electricity to several areas in the provinces of Lecco, Milan and Bergamo since 1904.
Now home to an interactive museum dedicated to energy, it is the renewables with their voices that will engage tourists in this unique experience in Italy.
