Lo.Re.79
The sugar cathedral
This sugar factory began its activity in 1899, a period when many similar industrial plants were opened in Italy to process sugar beet for the production of refined sugar. Also part of the complex was a small chemical laboratory, the director’s building and some housing for employees. The factory stopped production with the last campaign in 1971, due to the fact that the production technology was no longer up to date.
The building, now empty, still retains all its grandeur, a vast, very high room with arched windows throughout, almost reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral.
