Crespi d'Adda Houses

 The Crespi cemetery is also quite impressive, but I couldn't get any postcards from it. In fact, I was lucky to have found postcards because at the tourist office they told me that I wouldn't find any postcards, but when I was going back to the car I found a house selling these nice cards!




Crespi d'Adda Castle

 The castle couldn´t be visited




Crespi d'Adda, Factory

Crespi d'Adda, Factory

 We rent two bikes and we visited the village in less than an hour.
