The spinning mill of Baraggia is a former industrial building located in Via San Francesco d'Assisi 19, Brugherio. At the beginning of '900 it was one of the four towns mills, along with the Beretta Filanda, Via Tre Re, the Filanda Santini Ronchi Spada in via Dante, and the Strazza Filanda in Via Santa Margherita. It was called filandùn and it is currently private property, home to apartments and warehouses.

History

On the maps of the Terensian cadastre, in the land, on which the building will be realized, there aren't buildings, the land corresponds to a countryside meadow owned by Count Giovanni Battista Durini, noble that included huge estates in Cassina Baraggia. The cartography of the Lombardo-Venet,o instead, shows a rectangular court, whose system matches the present one: almost completely closed, with a single entrance from Municipal Road that from Cassina Baraggia goes to Carugate. The mill was built in the second half of the nineteenth century and was used for the first phase of silk processing, the reeling, in which the filament was extracted from the cocoon to wrap on reels. Between 1873 and 1894 the court was closed completely: the portion facing the street was elevated and, to the east of the building, it was built a group of houses intended for laborers employed in the factory. In the second half of the twentieth century, Baraggia underwent a slow decline. The Marquis Brivio, owners of most of the assets and land located in the hamlet, paid scant and manufacturing, with the textile industry crisis, were gradually abandoned. Remained empty, a few houses and the rustic courtyard of the collapsed due to neglect. At the beginning of the twenty-first century the municipality made a recovery plan of the entire historical center of the neighborhood. In this context, even the old textile mill has been restructured: it was found a building that has partially retained the original architecture, adapted to new functions, even housing.

The floors are generally of masonry, the cover is in wooden trusses with a gable roof and a mantle of brick tiles. The building has decorations, such as external ornaments.
