Highlight • Bridge

What to say? To go from Milan to Selvino this is not the fastest way, but certainly the safest, because out of traffic, and very pleasant.

The Naviglio Martesana, also known as the Naviglio Piccolo, reaches as far as Milan and originates right here. It is an artificial canal built for commercial purposes in 1457, and which houses numerous engineering works along the way, including by Leonardo da Vinci.

Monumental Cemetery of Crespi d'Adda

Highlight • Historical Site

The cemetery designed by Gaetano Moretti has a rectangular planimetric shape and is located south of the village near the confluence of the Brembo with the Adda, reachable through an artery over 300 meters long, continuing the main avenue.

The complex is set in an agricultural environment of cultivated countryside: the whole plot to the right of the avenue and the cemetery, now uncultivated undergrowth, was once cultivated with vineyards and orchards while on the opposite side there was cereal cultivation.

The entrance takes place by means of a wrought iron gate positioned centrally on the north side, right in front of a majestic pyramid-shaped funeral monument that forms the backdrop of the cemetery.

The Crespi mausoleum consists of three galleries, a central staircase and an altar dedicated to the SS. Redeemer and to Saints Onorato and Simplicio; in it the space was prepared for fifty burials and it is the only property that remains today the property of its founders (the rest of the cemetery would be passed on January 1, 1931 to the company S.T.I. - Italian Textile Establishments - which will sell it in 1965 to the Municipality of Capriate San Gervasio).

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.
