A restoration, the first in our country
On modern architecture of this size ...
The Pirelli tower, commonly called Pirellone, is the building that houses the junta, the council chamber and some offices of the Lombardy Region. Located in Milan and there is a pentagonal base set a perimeter of the lot between Piazza Duca d´Aosta, and by Pirelli via Fabio Filzi, where the Central Station.
We were visiting the famous monument Milan, a symbol for modern Italian architecture and beyond. The charm that flows from this "Palazzo found" after the serious accident that on April 18, 2002 caused the deaths of two people in the building is inagibilità duh ...
The palace, the seat of the Lombardy Region, was built between 1956 and 1960, in the economic boom, designed by Gio Ponti, Pier Luigi Nervi, Fornaroli, Rosselli, and Dell´Orto Valtolina. It is an architectural work that belongs to the current Italian Rationalism.
And ´well 127.10 meters high and the spectacle from the 31 th floor is really impressive ... Can be seen throughout the city, from the cathedral at San Siro Stadium, the contours ridisegnarne the light of day or night in the beautiful moonlight. And ´one of concrete buildings highest in the world. It is one of the most famous symbols of Milan and is the highest skyscraper in Italy ...
Its construction created many problems static: the structure was solved by Pier Luigi Nervi and Arturo Danusso, who knew how to give strength to the design shaped blade of the great architect Giò Ponti, a project initiated at the prime of his maturity - start work to sixty years - from which derives the exemplary "summary of research on technical and functional buildings for office use." The plan of the skyscraper is large in deepest point 18.5 metres long and 70.4 metres.
A curiosity: Tradition has it that no building in Milan may be higher della Madonnina del Duomo, the Pirellone is highest della Madonnina. On its roof religious sentiment has built another Madonnina gold copy of sister overlooking the marble Candoglia. So it is really true: no building in Milan may be higher della Madonnina.
The weather had made off, gray, silent anonymous in a big city now has really found its beauty, its brightness and its colors, svettando proud and proud, staccandosi land from the eyes of thousands of passengers each day cross the Milan Central Station and its citizens.
