Centro Svizzero

Overlooking the public gardens of via Palestro, the Centro Svizzero replaced the Swiss Society’s wartime‑destroyed headquarters. Conceived through a restricted competition, the design evolved through several variants before reaching its final form. The building brought together consular functions, tourism offices, and spaces for the Swiss community in Milan, alongside rentable workplace areas. Its prominent position and height made it an early post‑war landmark in the city center.
