In the 1930s, Milan built its totem in the clearing of Parco Sempione. Designed by Gio Ponti, this tower is considered a true work of art in which modern architecture and new techniques meet.
Slim and transparent, a true architectural challenge, it was erected in record time – just two and a half months. The beautiful casing and wall, facing the side of the park in high-strength transparent crystal, allow a perspective view of the tower from the inside.
Made from a special steel, flanged and bolted, the tower is 108.60 metres high. Today, a modern lift can bring 7 people at a time to the top in less than one minute.
