More information on Centrale Taccani a Trezzo
Descending the rocky outcrop on which Trezzo castle stands, you will see the Taccani electric power station commissioned from Gaetano Moretti and Adolfo Covi by Benigno Crespi in 1906 to power the nearby textile factory in Capriate San Gervasio. Built on a double loop in the river, the horizontal building joins the long turbine room with the taller control section and the building that houses the steam powered emergency generators. It seems that the various sections of the building were designed to resemble a rock mass. The resulting combination of high technological innovation and careful environmental adaptation is a unique example of its kind. The dynamic design of the upper sections reminiscent of the crenellations on the nearby castle and the elegant geometric patterns in stone and iron make this construction one of the most interesting examples of industrial archaeology in Lombardy.
