And 8 very elegant villas for the managers, Nesr the factory a post office found its location in 1925 and in 1928 the building of the Dopolavoro.
1930: a really important year for the history of Crespi d’Adda., because it is the beginning of a crisis in the industry of cotton; a crisis that cannot find a solution. The family Crespi founded a society with Cotonificio veneziano e manifatture Toscane ;BCVT), which will become STI (Italian textile factory).
The manager will be Bruno Canto, who goes in following the idea of the family Crespi.
In 1952 the economic problems are so hard that the society must live the experience of the receiverships. Bruno Canto dies because of a car accident. And the new manager is Michele Bagnarelli, who decides to share the factory from the services in the village, which are administrated by Cooperativa di Consumo
