Torre Locatelli, 1930s tower in Municipio 2, Milan, Italy.

The Torre Locatelli rises 67 meters high over 17 floors, featuring a light marble base that extends through the first three levels of the structure.

Architect Mario Bacciocchi designed this residential tower between 1936 and 1939 as part of a planned twin-tower gateway to Milan Central Station.

The building incorporates terracotta cornices every two floors above the base, while the side facing Via Pisani displays rationalist bas-reliefs depicting different trades.

The structure combines residential spaces with office areas, featuring a monumental double-height portico on the facade facing Via Pisani.

The tower stands at the intersection of Piazza della Repubblica and Via Vittor Pisani, where its twin tower was never built, later replaced by Torre Breda.
