I visited this WHS in August 2013. It is definitely not the best WHS in Italy and most certainly not the most visited one either. More should be done to raise awareness on this site on a national level and to make it more accessible/interesting. I drove to Capriate San Gervasio to visit Crespi d'Adda. I arrived early in the afternoon on a sunny August day and pretty much everything was empty and closed (including Crespi Cultura which was supposed to be open!). The site is not looked after especially since the textile factory closed down. There were broken windows, signs of vandalism, overgrown grass on the pavement and the main road leading to the factory is blocked since some of the buildings are falling down due to lack of maintainance and therefore it is not safe for pedestrians or motor vehicles to keep it open. There aren't any information signs apart from the UNESCO sign just before entering the village and a small sign just next to the closed factory. The main church (replica of Busto Arsizio) is well kept as is the School nearby, and a short walk uphill next to the biggest villas gives you a good view of the urban layout. I'm not a big fan of industrial sites although there are pleasant exceptions such as Salins-les-Bains or the Woudagemaal, however Crespi d'Adda desperately needs funds and enough political will to maintain the site, install more informative signs and if possible open up the factory to the public on some days. As it is today, it doesn't deserve to be on the WH list and it certainly does not have OUV.
