    Something like this might be repurposed as condos or office space in the USA. I know Italians value their centuries-old buildings. I wonder how they treat, in general, their recently old buildings.

    In North America during that era, elaborate and symbolically designed factories were common here too.

    Quite interesting that it incorporated that garden area in addition to the ambitiously detailed mill

    Sometimes I believe, humans turn down and build again just to have something to do.
