Last Saturday I got three postcards: one from Italy, one from Portugal and one from Sweden.
The card from Italy shows an aerial view of Crespi d'Adda. Crespi d'Adda is a village in Northern Italy. It was founded next to the cotton mill of Cristoforo Benigno Crespi and is an outstanding example of the 19th and early 20th century company towns built in Europa and North America by enlightened industrialists to meet the workers' needs. In addition to a clinic, a school building, a theatre, a cemetery, a wash-house and a church, it was also the first village in Italy to have modern public lighting. Since 1995 is Crespi d'Adda on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Thank You very much Chiara!
