		In Cassano d'Adda there is the National Linen and Hemp Mill which was used at the beginning only for the spinning, but which was completed with the weaving and the bleaching of linen and hemp.
		Several defensive works have been built along the course of the river Adda throughout the centuries: the first fortifications were built along the roads to check and push back the raids of the enemies; further on, they were used to signal the presence and the movements of the enemy troops.
		The most ancient industrial monument among the ones which can still be seen along the river Adda is the plant Velvis in Vaprio d'Adda which was quoted in 1857 by Cesare Cantù in his description of the Lombardo-Veneto for the quality of the velvets produced.
