Esterle power plant Virtual Tour

The Carlo Esterle hydroelectric power plant is located on the right bank of the Adda River in the municipality of Cornate d'Adda (MB). It is dedicated to the memory of Carlo Esterle, managing director of Edison until 1918.
The plant is renowned for its beauty. The building is constructed in a style derived from the Lombard eclectic tradition. Intricate ornaments, geometric and floral motifs, the columns and capitals at the entrance, wrought-iron lamps and eaves, and the imposing Gothic-style windows make it look more like a villa than an industrial building.
The walls and ceiling of the engine room are carefully decorated, as are the noteworthy floors, lampposts, lamps, and numerous wrought-iron furnishings. The facility has been repeatedly modernized and improved since 1998, always with respect for its original design.
