This property is truly unique in the entire famous village: designed in 1870 by architect Ernesto Pirovano, commissioned by industrialist Benigno Crespi for the workers of his textile factory, this building was deliberately built in its majestic castle guise to serve as a calling card for the entire Crespi d’Adda area. Its neo-medieval appearance, according to the architectural style that was popular in the late 19th century, inspired by the revival of the past, can be seen in the dense ornaments that embellish the facades, including single, double, triple and small windows, marble bases and sills, concrete parts, frescoes with coats of arms, mosaics, capitals with an epic tone, balconies in inlaid wood and inserts in wrought iron and bronze.
I thought I would stray from the typical France château I’ve been featuring lately and move to Italy for a change. WOW do castellos there not disappoint! I wish there were more photos of the rooms rather than so many detail shots but the details are pretty spectacular. Can you imagine calling this home?! For sale for “from 5M to 10M” via Lionard.
