The Esterle power plant was particularly well-designed from an architectural point of view, as it was intended to be representative of the Edison company that built it. It looks more like a Lombard pleasure villa than a true industrial facility. The effort to integrate the building into the surrounding territory, made in the early 20th century during the construction of the plant, was remarkable. Today it represents a significant example of monumental industrial archaeology and is known for its particular beauty. Inside, the walls and ceiling of the engine room were decorated with great care, as were the floors, lamps, light fixtures, and numerous wrought-iron furnishings.

If you start the tour in the morning, near the end of the tour around 1:00 PM, it's worth stopping for a bite to eat at the Trattoria delle Querce, which is always open in all seasons, from Wednesday to Sunday, and from which on the right days you can enjoy a spectacular view.
