Following the course of the Leogra, and passing beyond the high fall of the nineteenth-century Canal(1), we reach Torrebelvicino, introduced by the majestic Rossi Works(2) set up in 1873(3) for the processing of carded mixed wool fabric. The layout consists of a monumental(4) three-storey block(5) and a series of low sawtooth-roof sheds(6) with cast-iron and wooden structures, faced with bricks and stones which have later been painted over. The main body(7) of the building has a lively façade with a series of gables corresponding to the large coupled windows. Each sector is marked(8) out by paired pilaster strips with low arches and by string-courses with prominent open-leaf rosettes. The large luminous halls(9) are filled with a network of columns(10) which highlight the grandeur of the spaces(11).
The original turbine room of the hydroelectric power station is preserved in the area going up towards the hill, while the water intake(12) and the control column are clearly visible outside the works(13) on the other side of the road.
