Editing Crespi d'Adda (section)

===20th century===
The [[Great Depression]] of 1929 and the harsh [[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|fascist]] fiscal policy resulted in the Crespi family being obliged to sell the entire town to STI, ''the Italian textile enterprise'', which transferred it to the ''Rossarl e Varzi company'' in 1970. It then passed to the ''Legler company'', which sold off most of the houses. It was last in the hands of the ''Polli industrial group'', which employed some 600 people, as compared with the 3200 employed during the years of maximum activity.<ref name=autogenerated3/>

Today the village is inhabited by a community largely descended from the original workers. The factory stopped production only in 2004, its field of activity throughout its working life having been [[Cotton Mill|cotton textile production]].

In October 2013, it was announced that [[Antonio Percassi]] was purchasing Crespi d'Adda in order to convert it into the headquarters for the Percassi Business group as well as the headquarters for the new Antonio Percassi Family Foundation.<ref>[http://www.percassi.it/en/index/universo/il-fondatore.html Info at percassi.it] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131221035709/http://www.percassi.it/en/index/universo/il-fondatore.html |date=2013-12-21 }}</ref>
