Vaprio d'Adda

Highlight • Settlement

Vaprio d'Adda is the first town to meet along the Adda cycle path (Martesana canal) after Cassano d'Adda (about 6 km). It is one of the many villages along the stretch of the river that has seen a particular development since the times of the early Renaissance with the villa Melzi d'Eril, just overlooking the towpath, in that living room for two years Leonardo da Vinci, the house of guardian of the waters, right on the Adda embankment which was intended as the "royal house" for the control of the passages on the river for the payment of duties. Further on, the Castelbarco villa (in the photo the mill wheel on the towpath). Then we have some historical factories such as the Velvis cotton mill (in the photo) of the Visconti di Modrone and the Sottrici Bindi paper mill, born in 1800 in the middle of industrial development, also due to the proximity of the Adda river.

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.
