The factory was built by Alessandro Cruto in 1885 and began the production of electric bulbs with a carbon filament, a Cruto patent, on an international scale the following year.
The ecomuseum is located inside the abandoned factory in an evocative and stimulating setting and offers three itineraries: Cruto’s dream, The history of lighting, The century of inventions.
