Torrione INA, Skyscraper in Piazza della Vittoria, Brescia, Italy.
The Torrione rises 57 meters high with 13 floors above ground, featuring a rectangular base covered in exposed brick and Cornabò stone cladding.
Completed in 1932 under architect Marcello Piacentini's direction, this structure marked Italy's first skyscraper and Europe's tallest reinforced concrete building at that time.
The tower's facade incorporates twelve arches across four levels, decorated with terracotta reliefs depicting the industrial activities of Brescia's region.
The building contains five elevators serving its floors, with two underground levels designated for technical facilities and storage areas.
At the sixth floor, the structure's volume reduces to create large terraces, while the seventh floor starts the tower section facing Piazza della Vittoria.
