abstract:
This chapter rereads, in the new context of the Anthropocene, the relationship between heritage and workplaces and the attractivity exercised by places once designed for production and for work, now re-signified as venues for leisure and tourism destinations, focussing on the peculiar case study of Crespi d’Adda. Despite not instinctively associated with leisure or entertainment, former workplaces still enhance in their captivating appeal, connected with local dynamics of resident families, as well as with the collective lure of remembering and understanding, both central issues in the debate on heritage. Memories and families act as main claims on territorial identities, as well as bearing impacts on tourism practices and local economies.
