VILLAGE OF CRESPI D'ADDA



Crespi d'Adda is a working-class village founded by Cristoforo Benigno Crespi in 1877 and completed in the late 1930s. Visiting it today gives one the feeling of taking a trip back in time and being thrust into another time dimension. In fact, the village has remained almost untouched since then, preserved as if under a glass bell, not even if it had just been designed and built.

It is precisely the extraordinary character of this place and the exceptional interaction between man and the environment that convinced UNESCO to declare Crespi d'Adda a World Heritage Site.



LEONARDO DA VINCI'S FERRYBOAT



The ferry that crosses the Adda River and connects the Bergamo banks of Villa D'adda and the Lecco banks of Imbersago was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci. This drawing, dated 1513, can be found in the Windsor Codex, preserved in the royal library of the castle of the same name in England.

During this assignment, Leonardo had the opportunity to see, study and admire the banks of our river in order to design, among other things, one or more navigable canals that would connect Lake Como to Milan, the famous Navigli, works that on the basis of his studies would later be realized in the following centuries. These landscapes of craggy cliffs, waters and vegetation were desired to be identified in the background of many of his works, such as " The Virgin of the Rocks " or even " The Mona Lisa ".The first model of the ferry, however, dates back to before the 16th century.
