Torre Snia Viscosa

by Alessandro Rimini, Guido Mettler · 1937

piazza San Babila, corso Matteotti 11, Milano, Italy

Commissioned by Snia Viscosa, this 60‑metre tower was completed between 1935 and 1937 and briefly became Milan’s tallest building. Its height exceeded the prevailing municipal limits, the result of lengthy negotiations with the city offices. Positioned in the San Babila area, it helped signal the ambition of interwar redevelopment in the center. The building’s vertical silhouette gave a monumental, representative character to the emerging Milanese skyline.
