GRATTACIELO PIRELLI
Masterpiece of the great architect Gio Ponti, built between 1956 and 1960.
The precursor of the district's recent skyscrapers, the "Pirellone", dear to the hearts of the Milanese, is the masterpiece of the great architect Gio Ponti. Built between 1956 and 1960 on the site of the former Pirelli factory, it was the scene of a tragic incident on April 18, 2002 when a tourist plane crashed into the 26th floor. For a long time the headquarters of the Lombardy Region (now in Palazzo Lombardia), it now houses various administrative offices. It can only be admired from the outside; it is impossible not to notice it when you go to the Central Station.
